A board-certified gastroenterologist, Robert H. Hawes, MD, specializes in advanced endoscopy with particular interest in pancreatobiliary diseases and gastrointestinal oncology.

Dr. Hawes' Training
Dr. Hawes earned his medical degree from Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis, where he also completed postdoctoral training, including an internship and residency in internal medicine and a fellowship in gastroenterology. He spent a year in London at The Middlesex Hospital and University College Hospital training in advanced endoscopy.
About Dr. Hawes
Dr. Hawes was an early adopter of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and started one of the United States' first EUS programs at Indiana University School of Medicine in 1987. He later helped establish a Digestive Disease Center at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, with a vision to facilitate the integration of GI medicine, surgery and radiology into an integrated unit.
During his career, he has published more than 400 articles in peer-reviewed medical journals, edits the primary textbook on EUS and has contributed numerous chapters to gastroenterology and endoscopy textbooks. He has lectured and performed live endoscopy demonstrations around the world and trained a generation of endosonographers over the past 30 years.
Dr. Hawes is a member of several national and international societies, a fellow of the American College of Gastroenterology and the Japanese Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society, and has previously served as president for the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE), from 2005 to 2006. Recognized by ASGE with the Master Endoscopist Award, Dr. Hawes has received many awards and honors, including the Rudolf V. Schindler Award – the highest honor given by the ASGE.

This is a comprehensive list of insurances accepted at Orlando Health hospitals, outpatient services and physician groups. Be sure to contact your individual insurer to verify coverage. Not all providers accept the same insurance. If possible, check with your providers prior to your procedure or appointment to verify coverage.
Why do some Orlando Health physicians not have a patient experience rating?
The Patient Satisfaction Rating is an average of all responses to the care provider related questions, shown above, from our nationally-recognized Press-Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question.
Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score.
The comments are submitted by patients and reflect their views and opinions. The comments are not endorsed by and do not necessarily reflect the views of Orlando Health.
Ratings may not be present for certain physicians of Orlando Health Physician Group and Orlando Health Physician Associates because:
- The physician has not yet met the minimum number of 30 patient satisfaction surveys to be eligible for display.
- They may be a researcher or type of provider that does not see patients.
- They may practice in a specialty or office that has not yet implemented the specified surveys used for these ratings.
