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.

Good doctor
Excellent care provided. Professional, pleasant, and friendly.
I was told to arrive at 1:40pm. I asked how long the wait might be and i was told 10-15 min. An hour & 10min later I was finally called back. I wasn't prepped and wheeled back for the procedure until 3:15pm. I was released around 4:15pm. What was supposed to take 90 minutes took 2 hrs 35min. Just a heads up to anyone using the Staples Mill location. I'm just thankful my driver didn't need to go back to work. Dr. Farrell was to the point and asked about my concerns. The procedure was pretty quick, and it came with a great nap.
Thorough and very professional
Dr. Farrell is wonderful, he gives full attention, listens attentively to the patient. I’m glad we still have very traditional doctor like him who spent time with the patient, instead of other doctors who are always rushing to see another patient.
I was very satisfied with my outci.Enjoyed my visit immensely
Very pleasant and ready to answer questions .
Great dr.
My first visit. I was impressed with the time he took to explain and re-explain my condition. He explained options, referred and personally called other physicians in my name and secured a quick procedure I needed. Most grateful I was squeezed into his schedule. I’d give him a 10! Will recommend.
Love Dr Farrell!
