GI Patient Finds Lifesaving Diagnosis at Christian Hospital

For nearly six months, Robbi Sanders, 40, of St. Louis, suffered from extreme stomach pain, resulting in dramatic weight loss and the inability to even leave her bed. The hospitals she visited couldn’t determine the cause of Robbi’s pain, prescribing her with antibiotics which provided her with only temporary relief.

Christian Hospital has been recognized as a High Performing Hospital in Gastroenterology and GI Surgery by U.S. News & World Report. It is among only 3% of all hospitals in the nation to receive recognition in a specialty.

Ripa Patel, MD, MBA, FACC, is an interventional cardiologist who is board certified in both cardiovascular disease and internal medicine. She became a Fellow in the American College of Cardiology in 2018.
