Summary

  • Dr. Andy Tau is a board certified and fellowship trained gastroenterologist. Prior to joining Austin Gastroenterology, Dr. Tau graduated from Harvard University. He completed all post-graduate training at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston's Texas Medical Center. He served both as chief resident in internal medicine and chief fellow in gastroenterology.

    While in residency, Dr. Tau received the prestigious Henry D. McIntosh Award for the best graduating resident in his class as voted on by faculty and peers. While with Austin Gastroenterology, he was named the 2021 Travis County Medical Society (TCMS) Young Physician of the Year, while serving as a full-time GI hospitalist during the COVID pandemic.

    Dr. Tau continues to publish in major gastroenterology journals and presents at multiple meetings at both the local and national level. As a national expert in endoscopic hemostasis and advanced tissue closure, he has been invited and spoken at Grand Rounds at Harvard MGH, Baylor College of Medicine, UT San Antonio, and Thomas Jefferson University to name a few. He is invited annually to speak and teach on multiple topics at the largest scientific GI meetings in the USA. He is most proud of pioneering the use of endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVT) in Austin to help close life threatening perforations and fistulas.

    In the clinic, Dr. Tau sees patients with all variety of GI disorders from IBD, IBS to feeding tubes and anorectal disease. He offers painless office-based hemorrhoidal banding for the practice.

    Dr. Tau was born in Corpus Christi, Texas and is a first generation Chinese American. He played football in college, now enjoying it as a spectator. He also loves spending time with his wife and two children around Austin.
