Dr. Rodemann is board eligible in gastroenterology and board certified in internal medicine. He recently completed a fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh’s Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition, where he was named chief fellow.

Dr. Rodemann earned his medical degree at Loyola University in Chicago. He holds a bachelor’s degree in biology from Rockhurst College in Kansas City, MO.
"I am drawn to gastroenterology because of the opportunity to treat a variety of diseases involving the GI tract, liver and pancreas. I am particularly interested in inflammatory bowel disease and the impact that screening colonoscopy has on preventing colon cancer,” Dr. Rodemann said. “I am excited to bring my special training home to the St. Louis area and look forward to taking care of patients in St. Charles County.”
In addition to inflammatory bowel disease and screening colonoscopy, Dr. Rodemann’s areas of interest include irritable bowel syndrome and biliary disease. His particular skills include esophagogastroduodenoscopy, with treatment of variceal and non-variceal bleeding; colonoscopy, with polypectomy and treatment of bleeding; video pill endoscopy; ERCP; PEG placement; and nasal endoscopy with placement of post-pyloric feeding tubes.
Dr. Rodemann has published a number of articles and abstracts. He is a member of the American Gastroenterological Association, the American College of Gastroenterology, and the American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.
