.about .noScriptHide .nojs-show,.truncated [data-rem],blockquote .truncated-text{ display: initial !important}.no-js-hide,.ellipsis { display: none; }.truncated:after {content: '' !important}

In addition to being a general surgeon, I have advanced training in the medical and surgical management of colon and rectal problems. I enjoy helping patients understand their condition, while we decide together if surgery is the best option. When possible, I use minimally invasive procedures, such as laparoscopic surgery, to maximize patient comfort and speed recovery. When I'm not at the hospital or clinic, I enjoy traveling, biking and running with my wife.

I found Dr Wiliis to be extremely caring while being professional at the same time. Very knowledgeable. He answered my questions whenever I asked and explained everything to me and my family. He comes highly recommended by me.

This was my first time visiting Dr. Willis, and right from our first meeting he was very friendly, professional, straight forward and patient with me. He answered my battery of questions to my satisfaction, and took as much time as I needed to tell me what I needed to know. He is a physician that takes a very conservative approach, which I appreciate. I would give Dr. Willis my highest recommendation.
