Elias I Fanous Jr., MD,PA

Important Practice Update

Effective September 1, 2026, my private gastroenterology practice will be closing.

After many years of serving the East Texas community, I have made the decision to close my private gastroenterology practice.

Although my private office will be closing, I will continue practicing with UT Health East Texas. I will no longer be seeing patients in a traditional office clinic. Instead, I will continue performing endoscopic procedures when requested by your primary care physician, gastroenterologist, or nurse practitioner.

Your medical records are being transferred as part of this transition. Future appointments or procedure referrals can be arranged through UT Health East Texas Scheduling: 903-747-4210

Thank you for the trust and confidence you have placed in me over the years. It has been a privilege and an honor to care for you and your families.

Please visit this website for additional updates regarding this transition.
