Experience:

The amount of experience your doctor has treating certain conditions is an excellent indicator of results. In other words, the more experience the better the results. According to the American Society for Gastroentestinal Endoscopy, a physician should perform at least 100 colonoscopies annually. Dr. Sinha performs well over this criterion annually as we continue to pride ourselves on offering the best care available to our patients. Annually, Dr. Sinha provides care for many people with digestive disorders and conditions including hepatitis, Crohn’s disease, Ulcerative colitis, abdominal pain, celiac disease, reflux disease and esophageal disorders.

Dr. Sinha’s outstanding care for patients led her to be named the medical director of The Hunterdon Reflux and Motility Center in 2014. This center offers testing such as Esophageal Manometry, pH Impedance, and Bravo.
