Overview

Philosophy of care | I believe in taking care of you as a whole, investing in your emotional well-being as well as treating your physical ailment. | Why I entered medicine | I entered medicine because I wanted to help people. I have always found medicine and science fascinating, and the more I learned, the more I wanted to know. Gastroenterology is by far the most interesting specialty to me, and with the variety of pathology we see, it is never boring. | Community involvement | I routinely participate in local Step Beyond Celiac 5K events to raise money for celiac disease research, and have spoken at local PA gluten free expos. My personal and professional passion is to raise awareness for and to focus on patient education for celiac disease. | Personal interests | I love spending time with my son, daughter and husband, and enjoy improving on my gluten-free cooking skills.

Philosophy of care | My principal aim is to treat all patients as I would want my family and friends to be treated: with dignity, respect and compassion. I want you to walk away from our first visit feeling seen and heard and knowing your experiences, thoughts and opinions regarding your care matter. I empower you and your caregivers with knowledge regarding your condition and how to navigate life with it. Living with liver disease can be incredibly difficult and overwhelming, so I am willing to walk with you every step of the way. | Why I entered medicine | Two reasons: my desire to care for others and my love for learning about the inner workings of the human body. I was drawn to the field of liver disease specifically because of the intellectual challenges inherent in caring for those with liver disease as well as the long-term relationships I am able to form with patients and their families. It is a career that challenges and humbles me on a daily basis, and I wouldn't have it any other way. | Personal interests | My family is my everything, and there is nothing more wonderful than spending time with them and watching my two children grow. Additionally, I love to garden, cook (though toddlers are the toughest food critics), make ice cream and ride my bike. Dr. Linganna is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Banti's Syndrome. Her top areas of expertise are Visceromegaly, Enlarged Liver, Hepatitis, Cirrhosis, and Liver Transplant.

Philosophy of care | My philosophy centers on you, your personal needs and unique health journey. I believe in a collaborative approach, empowering patients with knowledge and being actively involved in treatment decisions. Whether managing chronic liver disease, guiding someone through a transplant process or offering preventive care, I create a compassionate and supportive environment where you feel heard and cared for. | Why I entered medicine | I chose a medical career to make a positive impact on people’s lives, especially in the realm of complex diseases like liver conditions, where treatment requires a balance of medical expertise and empathy. Liver disease, in particular, often affects individuals and their family in profound ways, and I find it incredibly rewarding to help patients navigate their care, from diagnosis to advanced treatments like a transplant. | Personal interests | I enjoy cooking and traveling, as well as time with family and close friends. I believe in maintaining a healthy lifestyle with proper eating and regular exercise. I'm also committed to finding a balance between work and personal life. Dr. Peyton is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Banti's Syndrome. His top areas of expertise are Hepatitis C, Primary Biliary Cholangitis, Hepatitis, Endoscopy, and Colonoscopy.
