She also manages complex conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease and diverticulitis. Minimally invasive surgery, including laparoscopic, robotic and transanal approaches, is one of her clinical interests.Dr. Agnew has wanted to practice medicine for as long as she can remember. "Throughout my childhood and during school, I was always working toward being a doctor," she says. "It's been very rewarding to see my goals come to fruition."After obtaining her medical degree at New York Medical College, Dr. Agnew did residency training in general surgery at Mount Sinai Beth Israel, Petrie Division.

She meets with a weekly tumor board consisting of fellow surgeons, medical oncologists and radiation oncologists to discuss tailored treatment plans for each patient. She also collaborates with nurses, who provide preoperative education about what to expect from surgery and the recovery process, and with providers who offer outpatient stoma support services.Dr. Agnew is a member of the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons and the Society of Surgical Oncology, and regularly presents at their meetings on surgical outcomes. She is also an assistant professor at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell and is board-certified in both general surgery and colon and rectal surgery.When asked what she enjoys most about her work, Dr. Agnew will tell you it's interacting with patients.
