Our Practice
CRC & ASA of East Texas were created with the sole purpose of providing the East Texas community with cutting-edge, minimally invasive surgical treatment for malignancies (cancer) of the breast, colon & rectum, as well as common general surgery problems.
Our practices’ approach is governed by evidence-based medicine. We strive to stay abreast of the proven technologies and cutting-edge treatment options that serve as the "gold standard" throughout the United States.
We seek to promote and practice preventative medicine. The education of the patients and their family and friends’ regarding their health condition is paramount. Upon visiting our office, we seek for you to leave with more than just an operative date, rather an understanding of your disease process and treatment options. Our mission centers on equipping you with the tools and resources necessary to make informative decisions about your healthcare.
The surgical staff is committed to staying "up to date" as far as surgical and non-surgical options for your medical condition. When possible, cancer-related cases will be discussed in a multidisciplinary approach with other surgeons, pathologists, oncologists, and radiologists. This collaboration between specialists allows for the creation of high-quality treatment algorithms -personally tailored for your care.
The physicians, administration, and employees of CRC & ASA welcome you. Our success is based upon patient satisfaction. We pledge to follow the standards established not only by the surgical governing bodies, but by the principle "do what’s best for the patient."
