SUBMIT FIND AN IGH PHYSICIAN: [[name]] [[name]] [[name]] 08/05/1965 - 04/20/2021 In Memory of Gregory (Todd) Lemmel, MD, AGAF A healer's touch is never forgotten and the impact of Dr. Gregory (Todd) Lemmel has been felt by thousands of lives. Following a heroic battle with gastric cancer, our friend, passed away on Tuesday, April 20th surrounded by his wife and four children. A 1991 graduate from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Dr. Lemmel has been a long-time leader in the gastrointestinal industry. After receiving several awards while at medical school and during his fellowship at Indiana University's Medical Center, Dr. Lemmel joined Indianapolis Gastroenterology & Hepatology (IGH) in 1996. He continued his leadership and focus on patient care as the Vice President of IGH 2012 through 2018. He was recognized as a Top Doctor by US News and World Report for nine years, until 2018, when his service as a physician, was put on hold to focus on his health. Although his profession was a gastroenterologist, he was truly a builder and a healer of people as he mentored young physicians and served in his local community. After his retirement, he continued to serve as the GI Endo Medical Director at Franciscan Health and as a Physician Consultant for IGH until his passing. Dr. Lemmel had a wonderful bedside manner, was adored by patients, colleagues, and staff, and always entertained us with his wit and humor. He taught many of us how to "count" and keep track of important sports statistics and also the practice business finances. It is hard to find a person who possessed no discernable bad habits, but we found that person in Dr. Lemmel. Dr. Lemmel had a unique talent that enabled him to see things in people and the places of the world that many could not see. Not only could he build others up and help them develop hidden talents, but he demonstrated his eye for beauty via his photography of the outdoors and the 28 national parks he visited. He was a state champion basketball player for his high school and coached his children through many sports when growing up. He was a passionate and suffering Cincinnati Bengals fan and an avid fan of the Cincinnati Reds. He loved taking in a game at Great American Ball Park and talking about Reds baseball especially. His enthusiasm for sports history was contagious, and he possessed an encyclopedic knowledge of sports statistics. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, sibling, son, partner, and friend. Dr. Lemmel, we thank you for your over twenty-five years of service and dedication to the health and wellness of patients in Indiana. Indianapolis Gastroenterology & Hepatology grew into the exceptional practice it is today thanks to your leadership, clinical skills, and personal values you bestowed on us all. You will forever be remembered by your family, friends, colleagues, and patients as a loving and caring physician who truly lived and shared the life of a healer.
