Dr. Brian Vartabedian
Gastroenterology
Dr. Bryan Vartabedian is the Director of Community Medicine for the division of gastroenterology, hepatology and nutrition. He has spent 20 years in full-time clinical practice and currently sees patients at Texas Children's Hospital The Woodlands. Passionate about communication and patient education, he is best known for his exam room 'whiteboard sessions' that are part of every evaluation. Summarizing patient treatment plans with bullet points, arrows and summary lists, his novel method has been written about and adopted in clinics far beyond Texas Children’s Hospital. Patients and parents routinely photograph his 'works of art' as a means of remembering what was discussed.
Dr. Vartabedian is passionate about the translation of medical information for parents. He is the author of Looking Out for Number Two – A Slightly Irreverent Guide to Poo, Gas and and Other Things That Come Out of Your Baby (HarperWave, 2017) and Colic Solved – The Essential Guide to Infant Reflux and the Care of Your Screaming, Difficult-to-Soothe Baby (Ballantine/Random House, 2007).
Originally from Boston, Massachusetts, Dr. V has called Houston home since 1991. He is married and has two teenage children and one crazy Australian Labradoodle.
