Meet Aparna Mele, MD
Dr. Aparna Mele, MD is a board-certified gastroenterologist and hepatologist with USDH’s Digestive Disease Associates in Wyomissing since 2007. She trained at George Washington University Medical School, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital for residency, and Hershey Medical Center for gastroenterology fellowship. She practices all aspects of gastrointestinal and basic liver care and performs standard and select advanced endoscopic procedures.
She came to the field of medicine with extensive experience in international relief work overseas and is actively involved in local philanthropic work directed towards patient education and promotion of societal health. In her spare time, she founded and runs a nonprofit organization entitled My Gut Instinct, which hosts Berks County’s annual Guts and Glory Digestive and Wellness Expo every September to educate the community about self-empowerment towards health and longevity through improved diet and lifestyle choices and to increase awareness of preventable diseases that impact community health. For her work, she was awarded the Pennsylvania Medical Society’s Everyday Hero award in November 2022. Dr. Mele notes “Beauty starts on the inside”, and she is dedicated to promoting and preserving digestive health for one’s overall health.
