United Digestive Celebrates Landmark Achievements in 2025
United Digestive, the largest gastroenterology-focused provider platform in the Southeast, has made headlines with a remarkable achievement in 2025. Fifty-nine of its physicians have garnered an impressive total of 85 individual honors, marking a significant milestone for the organization. This year, the accolades come from prestigious sources such as Castle Connolly, Atlanta Magazine, Naples Illustrated, and Savannah Magazine, among other notable regional and community publications.
Achievements of Atlanta Gastroenterology Associates
The highlight of this recognition is Atlanta Gastroenterology Associates (AGA), United Digestive's largest partner practice. AGA claims the title of the third-highest ranked gastroenterology practice in the entire U.S. as per Castle Connolly, and first in Georgia, thanks to the sheer number of Top Doctor awards received. The practice's outstanding reputation is further bolstered by eight “Best Of” awards from Newsweek, U.S. News Health, and local publications including My Alpharetta, My Druid Hills, Best Self Atlanta, and Best of Gwinnett.
Regional Clinical Excellence Across Practices
In an additional triumph, DeKalb Gastroenterology Associates and The Center for Digestive Liver Health were not to be overlooked, tying for third place in Castle Connolly's Georgia rankings. This success underscores the steady clinical excellence that defines practices within United Digestive’s extensive network.
Dr. Neal C. Patel, CEO of United Digestive, expressed pride in the achievements, stating, "Our teams continue to set the standard for compassionate, innovative, and expert GI care. To have 59 physicians recognized with 85 top honors – along with our partner practices ranked among the best in both Georgia and the nation – reflects the outstanding caliber of our clinicians, our culture of collaboration, and our shared mission to elevate digestive health."
Dr. Patel emphasized the importance of these accolades in reaffirming the organization's commitment to providing exceptional, cutting-edge care right in the communities they serve.
Commitment to Growth and Excellence

This infrastructure offers physician partners advanced operational insights and significantly reduces administrative burdens, which ultimately enhances patient care.
Dr. Patel's vision is clear: cultivating an environment of collaboration between healthcare professionals not only elevates the quality of care but also promotes the continuous growth of the organization.
