ABOUT KEVIN MCNAMARA, MD
Kevin McNamara, MD, is a highly-skilled, board-certified gastroenterologist in Tulsa, Oklahoma. At his private practice, Dr. McNamara takes a creative and patient-centered approach to care with a focus on the relationship between patient, physician, and support services. He considers himself more of an educator and coach, helping his patients understand their diagnosis and treatment options, which allows them to take a more active role in the management of their health.
After earning his bachelor’s degree in anthropology and pre-professional studies at the University of Notre Dame in Notre Dame, Indiana, Dr. McNamara went on to complete his Doctor of Medicine at the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He completed his internship and residency in internal medicine at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center in San Antonio, Texas, followed by a fellowship in gastroenterology at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center in Oklahoma City.
Dr. McNamara was encouraged to become a doctor by his fourth-grade teacher, who observed his compassion toward his friends and classmates. He eventually chose gastroenterology as his subspeciality because of its complexity as a field. Dr. McNamara specializes in a broad range of conditions, including irritable bowel syndrome, small bacterial overgrowth, hemorrhoids, and ulcerative colitis.
To assist in diagnosing the underlying cause of his patient’s symptoms, such as abdominal pain, Dr. McNamara offers advanced colonoscopy and endoscopy tests. He also maintains affiliations with other local practices, including Adult Gastroenterology Associates and Tulsa Endoscopy Center, LLC. When he’s not working, Dr. McNamara likes to play golf and has won several competitive golf tournaments. He also enjoys running, and he completed a marathon during his gastroenterology fellowship.
