Medina hospital will offer gastrointestinal clinic beginning in August

MEDINA – Orleans Community Health continues to expand and add services with the announcement of the opening of a gastrointestinal clinic at Medina Memorial Hospital in August.

The clinic will be led by Dr. Saman Chubineh, a board-certified gastroenterologist with more than a decade of experience in diagnosing and treating a broad range of gastrointestinal conditions.

“We continue to grow and expand specialty services to better serve our rural community,” said Marc Shurtz, CEO of Orleans Community Health. “The addition of Dr. Chubineh and the Medina GI Clinic is another step toward making high-quality, local care more accessible to the people who rely on us.”

Dr. Chubineh received his medical degree from SUNY Downstate College of Medicine after graduating magna cum laude with departmental honors from New York University. He is also board certified in internal medicine, having trained at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset.

After a year directing the hospitalist program at Eastern Niagara University, he completed his fellowship in gastroenterology at the University of Connecticut and has been practicing as a board-certified gastroenterologist since 2013. His work has been published in several peer-reviewed journals, and he is dedicated to providing thorough, evidence-based care, according to a news released from Orleans Community Health.

Patients visiting the Medina GI Clinic will see Dr. Chubineh personally for both office visits and procedures, ensuring continuity and a high level of personalized care, said Scott Robinson, director of Marketing, Communication and Outreach.

The clinic will initially operate on the first Thursday of each month, with plans to expand as needed.

“Patients deserve access to high-quality specialty care without having to travel far, and we’re proud to offer that here in Medina,” Dr. Chubineh said.
