Specialties
-
Pediatric Surgery
Pediatric surgeons are to children what general surgeons are to adults, performing a wide range of surgeries on the organs and structures of the abdomen. Because children are still maturing and growing, their surgical needs are much different from that of an adult. Dr. Nasr has been specifically trained to take these and other factors into account when planning for and performing pediatric surgeries.
-
Trauma Surgery
Trauma surgeons are specifically trained to provide surgical treatment for critically ill or injured patients, with many surgeries potentially being life-saving for the patient. Dr. Nasr provides time-sensitive surgical care in an effort to repair extensive damage to various parts of the body. For example, a patient with a gunshot wound may require the care of a trauma surgeon.
-
Colorectal Surgery
Colorectal surgeons like Dr. Nasr specialize in the surgical and non-surgical care for structures of the lower digestive system, including the intestines, colon and rectum. Dr. Nasr may treat conditions such as colon and rectal cancer, polyps, fecal incontinence, ulcerative colitis, inflammatory bowel disease and hemorrhoids. In the past, colorectal surgeons were commonly known as "proctologists."
