A native of Illinois, Dr. Kothari’s academic journey began with a Bachelor of Arts in biology and economics from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, where she graduated magna cum laude. She continued her education by earning a Master of Science in biomedical sciences and a health administration certificate from Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine & Science, where she also earned her medical degree.

Following medical school, Dr. Kothari undertook a dual track of earning an MBA in healthcare management from the University of Illinois at Chicago while simultaneously completing her residency in internal medicine, serving as chief resident at the same university and its affiliated hospital, Advocate Christ Medical Center. She then completed her gastroenterology and hepatology fellowship at Franciscan Health Olympia Fields in Illinois, where she served as chief fellow during her last year.

Dr. Kothari has a robust research background, with numerous publications in peer-reviewed journals and presentations at national conferences. Her quality improvement projects focus on enhancing patient outcomes by improving management of gastrointestinal bleeding in LVAD patients, reducing unnecessary medical imaging, and optimizing colonoscopy techniques. Her dedication to excellence has earned her several prestigious awards, including the Presidential Poster Award from the American College of Gastroenterology.

Beyond her clinical and research endeavors, Dr. Kothari is an active member of several professional societies, such as the American College of Gastroenterology, the American Gastroenterological Association, and the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. She is an avid volunteer in her community, has dedicated herself to mentoring the next generation, and has held leadership roles on several committees throughout her career.

Dr. Kothari joined Atlanta Gastroenterology Associates in 2024.

Why Gastroenterology?

I was drawn to gastroenterology because it offers a unique blend of challenges and rewards. I enjoy the balance of diagnosing and treating complex conditions, from preventive screenings to urgent care situations like gastrointestinal bleeding. This field also allows me to care for patients in both hospital and clinic settings, addressing a wide range of digestive health issues. What's most fulfilling, however, is building long-term relationships with my patients and helping them manage their health over time.
