Dr. Saeed has extensive experience in all aspects of endoscopy including colonoscopy, upper Endoscopy, pancreaticobiliary endoscopy (ERCP), endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided biopsy and therapeutic interventions, laparoscopy, small bowel enteroscopy, stents, lasers, management of hemorrhage, non-surgical treatment of hemorrhoids, endoscopic research, and new technology development.

Dr. Saeed is an acknowledged international expert in Endoscopy and has performed endoscopic procedures that have been transmitted live via satellite during prestigious meetings and courses held in various countries.

Other patented devices on the market include "The Shortshot," a device for the office ligation of hemorrhoids, "Bouncer," a multipurpose balloon used in ERCP procedures, and "Duette," a device for the non-surgical endoscopic excision of pre-cancerous (or with early cancer) Barrettâ€™s esophagus and other lesions. He has over 120 publications and has been invited as a Visiting Professor to numerous reputable Universities and meetings in the United States and overseas.
