Dr. Bookman and Dr. Zenlea, along with our dedicated team of founders, established The Tummy Clinic with a shared vision of providing comprehensive care for IBS. While Dr. Bookman and Dr. Zenlea do not see patients directly, they understand that IBS management requires more than just medical treatment. They recognize the vital role of psychosocial and behavioral strategies—approaches that fall outside their personal scope of practice but are essential for long-term symptom relief.
At The Tummy Clinic, our team of experts actively provides the hands-on, multidisciplinary care needed to help patients manage IBS effectively.
