About Michael Thomas, MD, PhD

Dr. Thomas specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases of the colon, rectum, and anus. He believes the patient-physician relationship is of the utmost importance and is based on the same principles as all good relationships: trust, mutual respect, and exceptional communication. From consultation to post-operative care, Dr. Thomas believes that every patient should be empowered through education to actively participate in making the best, most individualized plan of care possible.
