Dr. Muaz Aijazi chose gastroenterology, specifically therapeutic endoscopy, because it combines the problem solving and long-term patient relationships of internal medicine with the hands-on precision of procedural work.
He has specialized expertise in diagnostic and therapeutic EUS, biliary and pancreatic ERCP, large polyp resection, small bowel enteroscopy, and endoscopic suturing. Dr. Aijazi enjoys the full range of advanced endoscopy, from giving patients immediate relief by removing a stone or placing a stent, to managing complex chronic conditions in close collaboration with radiologists and surgeons.
Dr. Aijazi appreciates Portland’s natural beauty, thriving coffee and food scene, and passionate sports culture. Feel free to bring up basketball or soccer at your next appointment! He is an avid NBA and European soccer fan, a self-professed world traveler, and loves spending time with family.
Dr. Aijazi speaks Urdu/Hindi and Arabic.
