Dr. Rishika Chugh is a gastroenterologist who cares for people with a range of digestive conditions and symptoms. She performs endoscopic procedures, such as upper endoscopy and colonoscopy, and specializes in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. She directs the UCSF Intestinal Ultrasound Clinic, where ultrasound imaging is used to assess inflammation and inform treatment decisions for patients with IBD.

In research, Chugh focuses on IBD. She has a particular interest in how intestinal ultrasound can reduce the need for colonoscopies, as well as MRI and CT scans, and an interest in women's health in the context of IBD. She has investigated novel IBD medications, looking at their safety and efficacy, and has examined how having IBD impacts pregnancy outcomes.

Chugh earned her medical degree at Sidney Kimmel Medical College. She completed a residency in internal medicine at Montefiore Medical Center, followed by a fellowship in gastroenterology and hepatology at Yale New Haven Hospital and a fellowship in IBD at UCSF.

    Rishika was great to work with. She read my report and came prepared with her questions and suggestions. She also extensively explained my diagnosis in a way that no one else had done at one medical and the ER. She also gave me an expected timeframe of how long it may take me to recover which no one else had done. She was extremely smart and factual I would give her 6 stars if possible.
