Love driving to Boston during rush hour? Now you don't have to. I trained there but I live on Cape to deliver Advanced Colorectal Surgery and Second Opinions to Cape Codders.
I'd love to talk about what's going on.

It's easy to do good for people you like and Cape Codders are the best.
Above all else, make sure the patient gets the highest quality of care. Your patient is always your number 1 priority.

Focus on Recovery
Recovery starts even before the patient arrives at the hospital. The stronger someone goes into surgery the faster they recover.
In the preoperative area, patients receive medications to minimize their discomfort later.
In the operating room pain blocks allow people to wake up comfortably.
Most patients eat and walk just hours after surgery. Many go home within 24 hours.
Team Centered Care: I partner with you and your doctors to develop options we can all agree on.
Did you know? In the US there is just one Colorectal Surgeon for every 200,000 Americans. All that experience translates to safer surgery, smaller incisions, fewer ostomies and superior cancer outcomes.
Better survival for patients with colon cancer operated on by specialized colorectal surgeons.
