When Dr. Abuzafar Arif is donning his white coat, he has a laser focus on his patients and their well-being. That’s the way it has been for the three decades Dr. Arif has worked as a physician and gastroenterologist. “I’ve seen a broad spectrum of patients and pathology,” Dr. Arif said about his years practicing medicine in Elkhart and South Bend. Born and raised in Pakistan, Dr. Arif spent the early part of his career in internal medicine as an assistant professor at LSU New Orleans before completing his fellowship at Tulane Medical Center in New Orleans.
