After 26 years of practice, I still look forward to coming to work every day. I am fortunate to work with a spectacular team at University of Florida/Shands Hospital, where I serve as the Charles and Elise Nail Professor of Colon and Rectal Surgery and Chief of the UF Division of Gastrointestinal Surgery. In our busy practice, we treat patients for a variety of problems that affect the GI tract including rectal cancer, colon cancer, diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's) and colorectal polyps. I trained on both coasts, graduating cum laude with a bachelor degree in biology from Harvard College in 1984.
