Over the past 70 years, Borland Groover has grown into Florida’s largest gastroenterology clinic. They have more gastrointestinal specialists, locations, and hospital partnerships  than most other gastrointestinal providers — all so they can deliver the most advanced treatments and the best patient care possible. Their physicians provide care for more than 100,000 patients each year with  gastrointestinal disorders and conditions that include inflammatory bowel disease, liver disease including hepatitis, irritable bowel syndrome, acid reflux disease, esophageal disorders and more.

After attending Spruce Creek High School in Daytona Beach, Dr. Sorathia graduated cum laude from the University of Florida, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Microbiology and Cell Science. He obtained his medical degree from St. George’s University School of Medicine, and was inducted into the Gold Humanism Honor Society during medical school. 

After medical school, he completed his residency in internal medicine at Aventura Hospital & Medical Center, where he earned the Outstanding Resident of the Year Award by the American College of Physicians – Florida. During his residency, he found his passion for gastroenterology and preventative care. He stayed on at Aventura Hospital & Medical Center to complete his fellowship in gastroenterology, and was appointed as Chief Fellow during his final year.

Subsequent to his education, the doctor attained board certification in gastroenterology and internal medicine through the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). The ABIM is a physician-led, non-profit, independent evaluation organization driven by doctors who want to achieve higher standards for better care in a rapidly changing world.

Widely published, Dr. Sorathia has written in peer-reviewed journals, presented at numerous medical conferences, and participated in multiple leadership hospital committees.

Gastroenterology is the branch of medicine focused on the digestive system and its disorders. A gastroenterologist is a physician who has extensive training in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders related to the esophagus, stomach, small intestines, colon, liver, pancreas, and biliary system.

In addition to practicing medicine, Dr. Sorathia is an avid fan of football and basketball, rooting for his alma mater, the Florida Gators. He enjoys spending time with his family, including his wife, who is pursuing a career in medicine, and his father, who is a practicing hematologist-oncologist in the area. Speaking multiple languages, he is fluent in English, Hindi, and Urdu.
