Dr. Saubermann's clinical interest is centered on taking care of adolescents and adults with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, such as Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Celiac Sprue(gluten sensitive enteropathy), and microscopic /lymphocytic colitis, though he also sees patients with a variety of gastrointestinal and liver related illnesses. As part of the complex care required by these patients, he utilizes a multidisciplinary approach that sometimes involves rheumatologists, pathologists, dermatologists radiologists, ophthalmologist, and surgeons. Through his clinical trial work, he also provided access to advanced treatments that are being tested in the treatment of these disorders.

Dr. Saubermann is interested in the intestinal mucosal immune system, and how it is involved in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, such as Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Microscopic/lymphocytic colitis, and Celiac Sprue. He has a number of projects related to inflammatory bowel disease, including clinical research trials with new biologic agents, testing for novel serologic markers of disease activity, and examining the effects of environmental toxins on the mucosal immune system. He is collaborating with other clinical and basic science researchers throughout the university to better understand the mechanisms behind the disease and develop new therapies. In addition, he participates as a co-investigator on a longitudinal countywide database study of inflammatory bowel disease subjects.

At URMC, we believe that patients should be empowered to make the right decisions regarding their
personal
healthcare. To do so, transparency is critical. URMC partners with Press Ganey, to survey our patients about all
aspects of their care experience. We are now putting this pertinent information at your fingertips by displaying
star ratings for our providers along with anonymous patient comments on our website. This will help you make
better-informed choices about how and with whom you seek care. Click here to learn more about the surveys used

As URMC is a teaching institution, I spent a good deal of time with the Fellow, who was very thorough. He then briefed Dr. Saubermann away from the examination room. They both rejoined me and answered my questions. I've participated in numerous clinical trials with Dr. Saubermann, so I trust him and respect his knowledge of both me and the field in general.

We discussed future treatment options and tests necessary to move forward to assess my condition. As well as coordinating with other doctors treating me for other things related to My overall health so they can coordinate together and work together as a team to assess my care and how to move forward with treatment.
