Additional Information

Dr. Charabaty chairs the Mission Committee of the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation (CCFA) of the DC-MD-VA Chapter. She also serves on the National CCFA Patient Education committee. She has a particular interest in women’s health in IBD (including pregnancy and IBD) and nutritional issues in IBD. She uses advanced endoscopic procedures in the management of our IBD patients, such as endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) to assess perianal disease and chromoendoscopy and confocal endomicroscopy (Cellvizio®) to detect areas with precancerous changes (dysplasia) when screening IBD patients for colorectal cancer.
