Bio
Dr. Prakash Gatta’s passion for advancing automation in surgery through robotics and digitally enhanced surgical care led him to a career in 2007 as a board-certified general surgeon with fellowship training in foregut/esophageal, gastrointestinal and minimally invasive surgery. Since that time, he has held numerous clinical faculty positions, including within the University of Cincinnati and the University of Washington, and served on several committees in exploration of new frontiers in minimally invasive GI surgery.
For the American Foregut Society, Dr. Gatta acted as chair of the Robotics & Co-Chair of the Advocacy Committees. He has also served on the Digital Surgery, Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Committees for the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons. He is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons as well as the co-inventor of a single port laparoscopic access tool used to promote less invasive GI surgeries.
Dr. Gatta earned his medical degree in Mumbai, India, before setting down roots in the United States. He completed his general surgery residency at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria, where he served as chief resident of his class. He completed his esophageal, gastrointestinal and minimally invasive surgery fellowship at The Oregon Clinic in Portland under the mentorship of Dr. Lee Swanstrom an internationally recognized Esophageal Surgeon.
Beyond the technological aspects of surgery, Dr. Gatta's areas of clinical focus include Oncology of the upper foregut (Esophageal & Gastric Cancer), the treatment of GERD, hiatal/paraesophageal hernia and Esophageal motility disorders such as Achalasia.
When not with his patients, he provides charity care locally and internationally in India. In his free time he enjoys traveling with his family, cycling, painting and cheering on his Seattle Seahawks. Dr. Gatta is fluent in English, Hindi, Telugu, and Arabic.
