In helping create and scale Oshi as the first nationwide virtual GI clinic, Berry has been instrumental in expanding access to evidence-based, multidisciplinary care that improves outcomes and lowers cost
, /PRNewswire/ -- Oshi Health proudly announces that Modern Healthcare has recognized Chief Medical Officer Dr. Sameer Berry as one of the 50 Most Influential Clinical Executives for 2025. A physician-scientist and entrepreneur, Dr. Berry has redefined GI care through Oshi's high-touch, virtual clinic with a proven care model that has never before been reimbursed – uniting five GI-focused specialties under one roof. Today, 63 million Americans nationwide have in-network access to Oshi's life-changing care.
Berry has shaped and scaled an accountable care model, building clinical workflows, collaboration and advancement structures, and the first-ever quality and utilization management framework for virtual GI care – practiced with rigor by Oshi's in-house clinical workforce.
This clinical infrastructure has enabled Oshi to scale with consistency and measurable impact—establishing a new standard for virtual specialty care delivery and driving documented savings of $10,292 per patient per year by reducing avoidable ER visits, diagnostic testing, and medication use, now proven at scale across multiple health plans.
"Dr. Berry has redefined what patient-centered care looks like in digestive health," said Sam Holliday, CEO of Oshi Health. "His leadership and clinical vision have fueled Oshi's model of whole-person, evidence-based care—dramatically expanding access and improving outcomes and quality of life for patients while reducing avoidable care and costs. We're thrilled to see his work recognized on healthcare's national stage."
In the past year, Oshi Health has scaled to full population coverage nationwide while maintaining 98% patient satisfaction, a testament to its success in helping patients reach full symptom control faster. While the national industry average is 48 days to see a gastroenterologist, Oshi patients are seen within days by a highly trained, multidisciplinary team—including GI-specialized dietitians, behavioral health providers, advanced practice providers, gastroenterologists, and care coordinators—all practicing at the top of their licenses to deliver integrated, relationship-based care.
In parallel, Berry has positioned Oshi Health as a trusted partner to the broader GI ecosystem. Through multiple funding rounds, he helped secure strategic investments from the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG), the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA), and a coalition of GI physician leaders, underscoring Oshi's alignment with the future of the specialty. Bolstered by in-network provider contracts with national and regional payers, Oshi has built a partnership network with local GI specialists and health systems to offer hybrid virtual care and free practice capacity for necessary in-person care.
