The most important aspects one looks for in finding a gerneral, colon/rectal surgeon is TRUST, TRAINING and TECHNIQUE. Living in San Antonio for the past 20 years, married with four children. I am a true rancher/farmer at heart. I trained in General and Trauma surgery in Buffalo, New York, Then sub specializing in colon/rectal surgery in Erie, PA. I moved back to San Antonio to join one of the first general surgeons in San Antonio, my father. Our practice was and is instrumental in establishing the standards of systems. We preformed the first Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy, appendectomy and hernia repairs at the Methodist and North Central Baptist hospitals. My General surgery is all laparoscopic (tiny incisions). I have the most divers practice in laparoscopic surgery for the gallbladder, appendix, small bowel, colon and hernia repairs. Our surgical outcomes with regards to complication such as infection and length of stay can not be surpassed. Retuning to work, loss of pay is very important to you and us.
The Colon rectal practice consists of removing the colon laparoscopically for tumors and diverticulosis. Our practice is one of the three that perform true (100%) laparoscopic colon surgery. The common denominator in rectal surgery are hemorrhoids, bleeding, rectal pain, and abscess.
Therefore, TRUST, OUR PATIENTS, and FAMILY have first priority. YOU are treated and taken care of like you are family.
