Dr. Kanji was born in Johannesburg, South Africa. He moved to Florida in his teen years and later to Atlanta, where he earned his Bachelor’s in Business Administration from Emory University before completing his medical degree there as well.  He completed his Internal Medicine residency at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami and his Gastroenterology fellowship at Rush-St. Luke’s Presbyterian Hospital in Chicago.

Dr. Kanji became interested in gastroenterology through a mentor and clinical research during his residency. He’s drawn to the field for its blend of clinical reasoning and hands-on procedural work, and his particular interests include inflammatory bowel disease and liver disease.

Outside the office, Kiran enjoys exploring the outdoors with family and friends — hiking, biking, and gardening. He’s also into woodworking and military history, and he’ll never turn down the chance to give a dog a belly rub or get a baby to smile.
