Medicine is in Dr. Indraneel Chakrabarty’s blood as he has several generations of family members who are physicians in various specialties from his father, paternal and maternal grandfather’s, great grandfather’s, great grandfather’s, various uncles, brother, etc. His father is a gastroenterologist and was a strong influence in his life. He grew up in Hemet and went to Hemet High School. He went on to obtain a Bachelor of Science (BS) in biochemistry from the University of California, Riverside (UCR).

He went on to specialize in Gastroenterology and Advanced Endoscopy at Lahey Clinic in Burlington, Massachusetts. He was very blessed to be trained by some of the best in the country. However, he loves the area where he grew up and saw the need to return and elevate the care in the region, specifically in Gastroenterology. He moved back to Temecula, CA in 2011 to provide Gastroenterology services, including much needed advanced gastroenterology procedures which nobody else provides in the local region. He became the Director of Gastroenterology at Temecula Valley Hospital in 2013.

Dr. Indraneel Chakrabarty provides not only general gastroenterology services such as endoscopy and colonoscopy but also provides advanced interventional endoscopy expertise from endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). He is highly specialized in procedures to prevent, detect, diagnose, and treat complex conditions such as Barrett’s esophagus, gastrointestinal bleeding, inflammatory bowel disease, liver disease, cirrhosis, biliary disease, pancreatic cancer, and other gastrointestinal cancers. His knowledge and skills are highly sought after by the regional hospitals, local referring physicians, and internationally. He was the lead consult for the country of Qatar to setup their now successful national colon cancer screening program from 2013-2016. He created Trinity Medical Multi-Specialty Group and a state-of-the-art ambulatory surgery center, First Surgery Center in 2020. Trinity Medical Multi-Specialty Group and First Surgery Center is Southwest Riverside County’s most advanced Gastroenterology medical center.

He has traveled all around the world, been to numerous music concerts and festivals and is an art and car collector. He has created several paintings and drawings throughout his life. However, photography has taken a strong interest on his creative side. His office is filled with his museum quality photos from his travels around the world which he shares with his patients.
