Founded by board-certified gastroenterologist Dr. Fadel Nammour, the clinic was established as an independent private practice focused on creating a different kind of patient experience, one centered around relationships, communication, and timely access to care. In a healthcare environment where long wait times and impersonal systems have become increasingly common, Dakota Gastroenterology Clinic continues to prioritize attentive, respectful, and responsive care for the community. Over the years, the practice has grown steadily to serve patients throughout Fargo-Moorhead and surrounding areas. Today, the clinic includes two experienced nurse practitioners and recently welcomed gastroenterologist Dr. Ross Meidinger, who joined the practice after serving patients within the Sanford Health system. Together, the team provides comprehensive digestive healthcare while maintaining the warm, patient-focused environment that has become the foundation of the clinic’s reputation. Dakota Gastroenterology Clinic offers evaluation and treatment for a wide range of digestive and liver conditions, including colon cancer screening, acid reflux, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, liver disease, pancreatitis, hemorrhoids, infusion therapy, and advanced gastrointestinal procedures. What truly distinguishes the clinic is its commitment to accessibility and continuity of care. As an independent practice, Dakota Gastroenterology Clinic is able to provide faster scheduling, timely follow-up, and more direct communication with providers—qualities patients increasingly value in today’s healthcare environment. “Our goal has always been to create a practice where patients feel heard, respected, and cared for,” says Dr. Nammour. “Being independent allows us to focus on the patient experience and provide the personalized care our community deserves.” As the practice continues to grow, its mission remains unchanged: delivering expert gastroenterology care with compassion, accessibility, and a personal touch. ### Dakota Gastroenterology Clinic 5049 33rd Ave S Fargo, ND 58104 [(701) 356-1001](tel:+17013561001) [dakotagi.com](https://dakotagi.com) --- ## Contact **Dakota Gastroenterology Clinic** 5049 33rd Ave S, Fargo, ND, 58104 Phone: +1-701-356-1001 Website: https://dakotagi.com
