Anorectal Fistula near Knoxville, TN

Biography: I'm a Dallas native who's been fortunate to call Western North Carolina "home" for more than a decade. In 2014, I became Buncombe County's first board-certified colorectal surgeon. I've been blessed to have my community trust me to provide proctological care ever since. \n I take tremendous pride in managing conditions ranging from colorectal cancer to inflammatory bowel disease to benign anorectal disease and in treating them with advanced technology such as robotic surgery. I can also offer patients several choices when it comes to where they have surgery, as I have privileges at a few surgery centers in the area. \n I treat a wide variety of conditions, including diverticulitis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, hemorrhoids, anal fistulas, and anal and colorectal cancers. \n When not in the office, I enjoy running, skiing with my wife and being an expert ball and frisbee thrower for my golden retriever.

It is my goal to put patients at ease and guide them through treatment with as little discomfort as possible. \n I completed a general surgery residency along with a colon and rectal surgery fellowship at the University of South Florida. In my last year of residency, I was honored to serve as administrative chief resident. \n I stay up to date on the latest traditional and minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic surgical procedures.
