Since that time, he has held numerous clinical faculty positions, including within the University of Cincinnati and the University of Washington, and served on several committees in exploration of new frontiers in minimally invasive GI surgery.

He completed his general surgery residency at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria, where he served as chief resident of his class.

Beyond the technological aspects of surgery, Dr. Gatta's areas of clinical focus include Oncology of the upper foregut (Esophageal & Gastric Cancer), the treatment of GERD, hiatal/paraesophageal hernia and Esophageal motility disorders such as Achalasia.
