Mahboob Alikhan, MD

Hello, I'm Dr. Mahbub Alikhan. I'm a gastroenterologist here at Lee Health. I was raised in Chicago and consider it to be my home. I moved to Florida after my training at Indiana University where I trained with renowned physicians like Dr. Rex, who is the foremost authority on colon cancer. And I joined Lee Health because I wanted to work as a hospitalist and be able to have a better ability to focus on taking care of patients with acute gastrointestinal problems. I love gastroenterology because it gives me the ability to build relationships with my patients in the office and in the hospital. And it also allows me to work with my hands to perform life-saving procedures to take care of my patients. I love reading about science and quantum physics, the universe. I love reading and learning because it's very, very exciting to me. The real world is much more fascinating to me than reading about any story that someone's made up in a fictional novel.
