About
Henry P. Parkman is a leading authority in neurogastroenterology and gastrointestinal motility, with a clinical and research focus on esophageal and gastric disorders. His work has profoundly advanced the understanding and management of conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and esophageal dysmotility. A key contribution is his demonstration that minimally invasive fundoplication can be performed safely and effectively even in patients with severe esophageal hypomotility—a population traditionally considered high-risk for post-surgical dysphagia. This finding, published in a 2016 study with 17 citations, has helped refine surgical candidacy and expand treatment options for complex GERD patients. Beyond this, Parkman has been instrumental in defining diagnostic criteria and therapeutic approaches for gastroparesis, a debilitating gastric motility disorder. His extensive body of work, encompassing over 300 peer-reviewed publications and numerous book chapters, has earned him over 10,000 citations, reflecting his lasting impact on clinical practice. As a professor at Temple University School of Medicine, he continues to mentor the next generation of gastroenterologists, shaping the future of motility research.
