Existing patients

Karthik Ravi, M.D., is a gastroenterologist at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, specializing in esophageal disorders and advanced diagnostic techniques for swallowing difficulties. Dr. Ravi focuses on managing complex conditions such as achalasia, eosinophilic esophagitis, esophageal lichen planus, and esophageal strictures. In caring for individuals with dysphagia, he combines evidence-based medicine with individualized treatment strategies to restore function and improve quality of life.

"Dysphagia can profoundly affect not only a patient's health, but also their overall well-being, as eating is central to joy, culture, and social connection. My approach is careful and stepwise — beginning with attentive listening to each patient's symptoms and lived experience, followed by thoughtful, structured testing to establish an accurate diagnosis and guide individualized care."
