Three pediatric gastroenterologists recently joined the pediatric gastroenterology team at the West Campus. The additional physicians brings the team to a total of four full-time gastroenterologists at the West Houston hospital.
“We are very glad to now have four full-time providers at West Campus who can provide needed services to our West Houston families,” said Katherine Bunting, manager of ambulatory services. “Now our patients and their families won’t have to travel far from home to get the gastroenterological services they need.”
The three new team members are:
- Dr. Yen Pham comes to Texas Children’s from the University of California San Francisco where she pursued additional training in transplant hepatology after earning her medical degree from the University of Texas Medical School at Houston. After graduating, Pham completed a residency and fellowship at her alma mater before moving to California.
- Dr. Priya Raj completed her medical degree at St. John’s Medical College in India and her residency at Cohen Children’s Medical Center of New York. Prior to joining Texas Children’s, she completed a fellowship at the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore in New York as well as a Master’s Degree in clinical Research Methods from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. She has a special interest and expertise in aerodigestive diseases.
- Dr. Myriam Soraya Barragan has a special interest in inflammatory bowel disease. She completed her medical training and pediatric residency training in Bogota, where she completed work in specialized studies in health care management, pharmacology and epidemiology. Barragan completed a pediatric residency program at Texas Tech University Health Science Center in El Paso and recently finished a fellowship in pediatric gastroenterology, hepatology and nutrition at the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh.
The fourth gastroenterologist at West Campus is Dr. Valentine Enemuo, who joined Texas Children’s in January. Enemuo earned his medical degree from the University of Nigerial College of Medicine. He then completed a residency at the Charles R. Drew University Program and a fellowship at the University of British Colombia – Vancouver.
