Roger L. Greenlaw, M.D., is founder of Rockford Gastroenterology Associates, Ltd. He completed internal medicine training at the University of Missouri in 1972 and gastroenterology fellowship at Yale in 1975.

He serves on the faculty of the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Rockford and has attained the rank of Clinical Professor of Medicine. Dr. Greenlaw is on active staff at SwedishAmerican Hospital and OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center.

Dr. Greenlaw’s philosophy has been to promote the consultative practice of gastroenterology through patient, public and physician continuing education. This group practice places special emphasis on prevention, screening, early detection with “state-of-the-art care” for people with digestive diseases.

For years a growing interest in preventive medicine and health promotion led Dr. Greenlaw to pursue education in complementary and alternative medicine with board certification from the American Board of Holistic Medicine in December 2000. He is a member of the American Holistic Medical Association, American College of Gastroenterology, American Gastroenterological Association, American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.

Dr. Greenlaw practices holistic gastroenterology with a special emphasis on lifestyle medicine (the role of diet, exercise and stress management in health). He believes in the integration of traditional western medicine with the knowledge and practices of the other major healthcare systems of the world. Research in lifestyle medicine has resulted in publication of several articles in peer reviewed journals.
