Partner with a doctor who listens.
Shannon Scholl MD, MPH
Dr. Scholl graduated Summa cum Laude from NC State and earned her medical doctorate and Masters in Public Health from UNC at Chapel Hill while raising her two girls. She studied transplant hepatology (the medical part of the liver transplant process) at UNC-CH in addition to General GI, and was lucky enough to have several excellent mentors. Among these was Doug Drossman of Rome Criteria fame. Dr. Drossman was an important early advocate for patients suffering from IBS, and his research into the causes of IBS-related abdominal pain continue to inform the modern treatment of this very frustrating illness. Dr. Scholl is proud to list him as one of her early influences.
Dr. Scholl was in an area private practice for 14 years but became unhappy with the traditional way of providing medical care, which puts an emphasis on numbers rather than people. When her daughter became ill, she took a hiatus and decided to explore other ways of delivering care. She enjoys getting to know patients as individuals and has had the privilege of caring for generations of patients within many families - the highest imaginable praise.
In addition to the Western medicine in which she trained at UNC, Dr. Scholl is well-versed in data-supported functional GI medicine, including leaky gut. She is proud to be The Plant Fed Gut Masterclass certified.
She is excited about revolutionizing GI care in this area by offering easy access to her (we love to text!), prompt response times, and transparent pricing.
When not talking endlessly about your microbiome and asking you if you eat enough vegetables, she enjoys spending time with her daughters, dogs and chickens.
In addition to her practice, Dr. Scholl has been honored to be involved in important research and development of AI technologies that improve patient care, as detailed in this video.
She also was a guest on The New York Times’ technology podcast, in partnership with Verizon, discussing use of technology in the procedural space.
