We work closely with other specialists including gastroenterologists, medical & radiation oncologists, gynecologists, and urologists for care of patients with complex disorders.

The UTMG Department of Surgery physicians maintain privileges at the major hospital systems in Memphis, including The Regional Medical Center (The Med), Baptist Memorial Hospital, Methodist University Hospitals of Memphis, and the Memphis Veterans Administration Medical Center (VAMC).
