Jonathan Gaspar, M.D.
Gastroenterologist
Dr. Jonathan Gaspar grew up in Virginia’s Northern Neck and graduated from the University of Virginia with a B.A. in Cognitive Science. Strong positive influences from his father and grandfather, both physicians, combined with a love for patient care, made his decision to pursue a career in medicine an easy one. After college Dr. Gaspar went on to earn his medical degree at the Medical College of Virginia, where he also met his wife, Shakun Gupta, who is now a pediatrician. He then went to Chicago for seven years and completed an internal medicine residency, where he was also elected chief resident. He then completed his Fellowship in Gastroenterology. During his fellowship, he was selected as the Department of Medicine Fellow of the Year both in 2012 and 2013.
Following his training, Dr. Gaspar was selected for an Advanced Endoscopy Fellowship at the University of Virginia. During this year he developed expertise in ERCP, Endoscopic Ultrasound with fine needle aspiration, luminal stenting, and advanced polypectomy/EMR for large polyps in the colon and throughout the GI tract. After two years in private practice in Northern Virginia, he has returned to Richmond.
Dr. Gaspar’s interests in GI include disorders of the pancreas and biliary systems, endoscopic management of GI cancers, gastrointestinal polyps, Barrett’s esophagus, peptic ulcer disease, GI bleeding, and colorectal cancer screening.
During his free time Dr. Gaspar enjoys spending time with his wife and son, traveling, all sports—especially football and tennis—and is an avid foodie.

I cannot say enough good things about Doctor G. He’s wonderful and I’ve recommended him many times to people in need. His team is also amazing and they frequently verbalize how much they enjoy working with him. So glad I found him!

The doctor and nurses and office staff were very compassionate and professional. They took time to listen to me and they explained things very well. This was my first experience and aside from the prep it was not bad at all. The not knowing what might be was the worst. Highly recommend this doctor and his team of nurses and office staff.

Great communication, orderly office and the prep he uses is not bad at all, I always hear other people talk about how nasty theirs was. Very quick feed back.
