Why I Enjoy Being a Colorectal Surgeon

 I love the variety of my practice. I get to take care of a wide range of patients and conditions of varying complexity: young and older patients, benign and malignant disease, complex abdominopelvic and anorectal procedures and colonoscopy. I like that I get to work closely and collaborate with physicians from other specialties, both in and out of the OR. I enjoy performing minimally invasive approaches to treat cancers and IBD, reoperative pelvic surgery and common anorectal procedures for hemorrhoids, fistulae and prolapse.

Dr. Leinicke is always very nice and professional. She has a student following her for training, he was a male. And she asked if it would be okay to be observed during the exam. I sort of said well I don't really want a guy in there and then I apologized. She said that this is your visit and whatever made me uncomfortable that nothing else matters only that I am comfortable. So he would not be watching. Very nice of her.

Dr L was very professional, but yet using terms I understood and was very concerned about what was best for me. She is fantastic.

Dr. Leinecke was extremely kind and professional. I am a licensed mental health provider who treats patients experiencing medical trauma. Unfortunately, I also struggle with my own medical trauma after years of undiagnosed endometriosis. Dr. Leinecke put me at ease and helped me tremendously.

Dr. Leinicke was very thorough and patient. She explained things well and listened to my questions and concerns. She and Dr. Nguyen were both very kind and knowledgeable. They both gave me peace of mind when explaining my options.
