About Srikar Mapakshi MD

Srikar Mapakshi, MD, is a gastroenterologist at UT Health East Texas Physicians in Athens. His goal as a physician is to provide patient-centered, evidence-based healthcare by educating his patients and helping them make informed decisions.

I am also focused on cancer prevention, particularly on increasing awareness about colon cancer.”

When not seeing patients, Dr. Mapakshi enjoys spending time with his family and friends.
