Dr. Michael Farrell was born in Cleveland Ohio and grew up in McLean, VA. He spent eight years in Charlottesville at the University of Virginia where he earned both his undergraduate and medical degrees (BA with distinction in Economics and Doctor of Medicine). His internship and residency in Internal Medicine were both done at The University of Connecticut, finishing in 1988. Dr. Farrell then returned to Virginia and completed his fellowship in Gastroenterology at The Medical College of Virginia/VCU in 1990.
After fellowship he stayed in Richmond and went in to practice with Dr. Ben Bradenham where together they formed Henrico Gastrointestinal Specialists. In 1994 the two of them joined forces with GSI and have been an integral part of our group ever since.
Dr. Farrell has a special clinical interest in advanced biliary endoscopy and ERCP for the treatment of pancreatic, biliary and liver diseases. He is also interested in inflammatory bowel diseases and general gastroenterology.
He holds an academic appointment at The Medical College of Virginia and has served as the chair of medicine/family practice at Henrico Doctors’ Hospital. He served as staff representative of the medical staff section of national American Medical Association meetings for many years. For 9 years Dr. Farrell supervised the Gastroenterology rotation for Hanover /VCU family practice residency program. He is committed to continuing medical education and has received the AMA physician recognition award for this.
A “lifelong student,” Dr. Farrell has an interest in international health issues. He has traveled with cultural exchange GI programs in Africa and Russia.
When he is not working, he spends time as a “frustrated golfer,” “Dad”, “Grandpa” and “hopeless UVA and Redskin fan”. He is enjoying following his new favorite college basketball team – the VCU Rams.

So impressed at the increased diversity of the staff, in the medical literature in the treatment room, and even in the reading material in the waiting room! The diversity lended a welcoming atmosphere in the office environment that was not evident in years past. Kudos to Dr. Farrell for the remarkable changes!
Top notch Doctor
Everyone was so professional and the made me feel very comfortable. I was in and out before I knew it.
Exceptional doctor!
Dr Farrell truly cares and wants to work with you until the problem is solved. Stephanie, NP, and Katelyn, Assistant, are awesome. Office is understaffed as most good doctors are these days.
Mike Farrell is a very personable and professional doctor, He is very easy to talk to.
Very professional and kind doctor who addressed my concerns and helped me make the best decision about my health care
Very long wait, over an hour. First visit with him, felt he was just ok. Will probably look for another Dr.
