Duane Cole Whitaker, MD

I use a Multidisciplinary Endocrine Team to provide every patient with quality and comprehensive care. I perform broad based surgical procedures to endocrine diseases, from minimally invasive surgeries (single incision laparoscopy, Robotic surgery, minimally invasive parathyroid and thyroid surgeries), to conventional open and complex operations. Our team uses comprehensive national guidelines and new innovation to provide cutting edge care for all of our patients.

I believe in treating colon, rectal, and anal issues nonoperatively whenever possible. But when surgery is required, I use the latest technology and minimally invasive techniques, including robotic and laparoscopic surgery, to maximize safety, minimize scarring, and return patients to their healthy lives as quickly as possible.

My focus is to treat each patient as an individual, listen to their concerns and together put forward a plan towards the best possible treatment.
