Dr. Liza Plafsky completed her undergraduate degree in biology at Columbia University in New York City. She subsequently graduated from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and stayed there to complete her internship and residency at Jackson Memorial Hospital. She then moved to Tampa for her gastroenterology fellowship at the University of South Florida (USF), where she completed most of her training at Tampa General Hospital.

At USF, she received training from specialists in esophageal disorders, motility, small bowel disease, transplant hepatology, pancreaticobiliary disease, and inflammatory bowel disease, giving her a well-rounded background for pursuing a career as a general gastroenterologist.

In addition to becoming a gastroenterologist, Dr. Plafsky has long wanted to move to Southern California. She is looking forward to establishing roots in San Diego. In her free time, she plays tennis, practices yoga, and relaxes at the beach with her family.
