About Shivantha Amarnath, MD;

“I am an adult gastroenterologist with extensive training in Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology, having spent the past seven years in New York managing a wide array of gastrointestinal conditions. I believe exceptional patient care begins with truly listening. Each individual has a unique story, and understanding their concerns, goals, and values forms the foundation for compassionate, personalized care. I strive to create a collaborative environment where patients feel empowered to ask questions and actively participate in their treatment plans. My goal is not only to treat illness but also to equip my patients with the knowledge and tools to lead healthier lives.

The Berkshires drew me in with its vibrant community, rich culture, and stunning natural beauty. Berkshire Medical Center’s dedication to innovation and teamwork resonates deeply with my passion for advancing healthcare and medical education. I hope to share my extensive experience in teaching the future generation of health care providers in New York and to bring forth these initiatives to BMC.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my wife and our Corgi, Duke. I have a deep appreciation for the outdoors, with hobbies including kayaking, paddleboarding, ATV riding, and skiing. My wife and I share a love for good food and value a healthy, joyful relationship with dining, often exploring new restaurants together.

Being part of this community is a privilege. I am committed to delivering compassionate, state-of-the-art care and building meaningful connections with the patients and families I serve.”
