Mark Kusek, MD
Assistant Professor, Division of Gastroenterology

Dr. Kusek received his MD at UNMC in 2008. From there he completed his residency in Charleston South Carolina and two fellowships. His first fellowship was his Pediatric GI fellowship in Boston at Massachusetts General Hospital for Children with Harvard Medical School, directly followed by a Pediatric Motility Fellowship at Nationwide Children’s Hospital with Ohio State University in Columbus Ohio. Dr. Kusek decided to move back to the Omaha area to begin working at Children’s Hospital and Medical Center. Dr. Kusek brings a lot of new ambition to several programs and areas within both GI and Motility. We are anxious to see where these areas continue to grow.
