Biography
Dr. Ranjith Wijeratne specializes in advanced gastroenterology endoscopic procedures to screen for and diagnose GI, pancreatic and bile duct cancers. He has advanced training in performing endoscopic ultrasound, ERCP, cholangioscopy, general and advanced therapeutic endoscopy, as well as upper endoscopy and colonoscopy.
Dr. Wijeratne chose gastroenterology because he saw the potential to provide diagnosis for early treatment to improve outcomes for patients. He is very interested in this region of the nation because of the high incidence of cancer found here. Since joining Owensboro Health, he has been able to diagnose many cancers which, without advanced endoscopic procedures, could have been missed or misdiagnosed.
When not caring for patients, Dr. Wijeratne enjoys photography, playing golf and tennis and traveling.
