Steven Flamm, MD, FAASLD, FACG, is a professor in the Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Digestive Diseases and Nutrition who is board certified in Gastroenterology and Transplant Hepatology.

Flamm cares for patients with acute or chronic liver disease, including patients with viral hepatitis, alcohol-related liver disease, fatty liver, autoimmune liver disease and patients with cirrhosis. He also cares for patients who require liver transplantation evaluation and who have hepatocellular carcinoma. Flamm is also helping to lead and build a robust clinical research program for patients with liver disease.

He believes in the importance of making care easily accessible, whether that is a thorough in-office consultation for patients with chronic liver disease, those in need of potential life-saving transplantation or by bringing tertiary care for patients to multiple locations in the community. Flamm is readily available to discuss any patients with liver-related issues or who require in-patient transfers with providers.
