Dr. Muench is a board-certified and fellowship-trained gastroenterologist. He chose to specialize in gastroenterology due to the field’s unique conditions and diseases, as well as the lifelong patient-physician relationships that develop from treating these chronic conditions.

During his medical training, Dr. Muench focused on addressing the social determinants of healthcare access and treatment, and he worked to address inequalities in health outcomes among different racial and ethnic groups and within the LGBTQIA+ population. Much of his research has involved access to hepatitis C treatment and projects addressing barriers to colon cancer screening.

He is of both Thai and German descent, though he was born and raised in the U.S. He enjoys traveling and meeting people from around the country and the world.
