As a fellowship-trained gastroenterologist board-certified in internal medicine and gastroenterology, Dr. Saxena believes that compassion is at the core of good patient care.

Dr. Akriti Saxena’s younger brother suffered from meningitis, resulting in permanent hearing impairment. Inspired by the dedication and care shown by his physicians, Dr. Saxena decided to become a physician to help patients and families in need.

Dr. Saxena grew up in Boston and now lives in Maryland with her husband and two children. In her free time, she enjoys cooking and spending time with her family outdoors.
