Patients at Froedtert Hospital are seen at the MCW/Froedtert Cancer Center and at the Froedtert Hospital Surgical Specialties Clinic. In addition, or as an alternative, there are practice opportunities at our other affiliate hospitals and at our off-campus practice sites, if there is interest in that type of practice. As an academic center, our major missions include, in addition to providing excellent clinical care, education and research.

We also work with colleagues in various other surgical specialties (Plastic Surgery, General Surgery, Transplant Surgery, Urology, Orthopedics, Gynecology, Urogynecology and Gastroenterology) who work with us in caring for patients with complex surgical issues. In addition to having a Colorectal Surgery Fellow on our service at Froedtert Hospital, we also have Surgical Oncology and Gynecologic Oncology Fellows rotate on our service, which we all find educational and stimulating.
