Meet Joseph

I am a Board Certified Colorectal Surgeon and Chief of Surgery for Maryview Medical Center. I manage everything from hemorrhoids to diverticulitis and cancer. The focus of my practice is minimally invasive surgery. I utilize both laparoscopic and robotic techniques, with a preference for robotics because patients have less pain after surgery.
