About Benjamin Root, MD
Benjamin Root, MD, is board-certified in internal medicine and sees patients at Specialists in Gastroenterology in St. Louis, Missouri.
Dr. Root was born and raised in St. Louis and attended the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor for his undergraduate studies. He obtained his medical degree from Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, before completing his internal medicine residency at New York University and his gastroenterology fellowship at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.
Dr. Root cares for adults with a wide range of gastrointestinal disorders, with a particular emphasis on screening and surveillance of colorectal cancer, GERD/Barrett’s esophagus, functional GI disorders (including irritable bowel syndrome and function dyspepsia), and inflammatory bowel disease (including ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, and a variety of liver diseases).
He is an active member of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, the American College of Gastroenterology, as well as in the American Gastroenterological Association.
After 15 years away, Dr. Root returned home to his beloved St. Louis, Missouri, to grow his GI practice.

Reviews
The experience was professional and the made me feel comfortable and calm thanks you!
Very well organized and timely. Staff went above and beyond to fix an order issue that would have required a second visit.
A good experience all around
Dr. Root is very knowledgeable, kind, caring, and patient. I felt at ease and comfortable. I didn’t feel rushed and understood his advice for my health care. I highly recommend Dr. Root.
Dr. Root provided my 92-year-old dad the most thoughtful care and was so patient with our questions and concerns. We now have a good treatment plan in place, and my dad and I feel so relieved after fruitless visits to other doctors. In addition, Roup was wonderful and kind during the pre exam process. Finally, both the check-in staff and Alivia in scheduling made those processes effortless. Honestly one of my best experiences overall with a doctor’s appointment.
