For Georgia’s Lake Country, there is no better resource for gastrointestinal treatment and care than GastroCare. Founded by Board Certified Gastroenterologist Dr. David Socoloff, GastroCare has made its way to the forefront of medicine in our community, building lasting relationships with patients, delivering unmatched care, and maintaining a welcoming stress-free environment. With personalized care plans, an incredibly attentive staff, and one of the leading physicians in

Who is Dr. David Socoloff?
Dr. Socoloff’s journey in medicine began at the University of Georgia, where he cultivated a deep understanding of Microbiology, laying fundamental groundwork for his steadfast pursuit of healing. Following his undergraduate education, he went on to attend the Lake Erie College of Medicine, earning his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree. His dedication to his craft then led him to further his education at the University of South Florida, where he completed a Residency and Chief Residency in Internal Medicine, followed by a Fellowship in Gastroenterology.
Dr. Socoloff has since worked locally for 18 years, becoming a widely respected name in his field and a trusted expert in various gastrointestinal conditions, such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Colorectal Cancer Screening and Prevention, and GERD. Dr Socoloff is also board certified and trained in numerous Endoscopic procedures, such as EGD's and Colonoscopies. With over 20,000 procedures under his belt, Dr Socoloff has developed a reputation for thoroughness and quality care. He has become one of the area’s experts in colorectal cancer screening and care.
Dr Socoloff has seen the transformation of healthcare from mostly privately owned medical practices to the current widespread corporate owned model that now dominates our landscape. While this transformation was meant to bring more efficient and more cost-effective healthcare, the exact opposite has occurred. Witnessing this transformation first-hand, Dr Socoloff decided to take a leap of faith and start his own independent Gastroenterology practice, a place with his patients’ best interests at heart. Three years ago, GastroCare was born.
Why GastroCare?
At GastroCare, Dr. David Socoloff and his team bring a compassionate touch to gastroenterology, prioritizing personalized care tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Through this focus on patient-centered care, Dr. Socoloff’s goal is that every individual receives the time and attention they deserve.
“I believe in fostering open communication and taking the time to explain diagnoses and treatment plans in understandable terms,” states Dr. Socoloff. “At GastroCare, we welcome questions with patience and understanding. In an era where the patient-doctor relationship often gets lost amidst bureaucracy, I founded this practice with a mission to restore personalized healthcare.”
Dr. Socoloff’s connection to Georgia’s Lake Country goes much further than his work with GastroCare, as he is also a proud member of this community. He and his family have a cottage in Great Waters and have grown to love their home here. When he isn’t in the office, Dr. Socoloff can often be found out on a Reynolds course, biking along the local trails, or boating on Lake Oconee.
What’s next for GastroCare?
Since its founding, GastroCare has garnered an exceptional reputation in Georgia’s Lake Country. Because of this success and continued support, the practice has decided to open the first outpatient endoscopy center in the area! This is an incredible milestone for this community, and it comes with a plethora of benefits. “A procedure at GastroCare Endoscopy will be high quality, cost effective, and convenient,” concludes Dr. Socoloff. “We strive to make the process as transparent and easy as possible.”
