Davis P. Viprakasit, MD, FACS

I was inspired to work in healthcare after having surgery as a child and seeing the direct impact providers make on patients’ lives. Over time, I continued to be fascinated by the human body and wanted to have a career where I could help patients find strategies to maximize their health and quality of life. As a North Carolina native and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill alum, I am proud to be able to serve my community as an advanced practice provider. My philosophy of care is that the patient and provider are on a team. With a shared understanding of the patient’s individual goals and health needs, we can work together to enhance their quality of life and well-being. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with family and friends, running and competing in races, exploring National Parks, gardening, reading, and watching Canes hockey.

After finishing college, I enrolled in pharmacy school. I spent a summer working with the abdominal transplant team in Detroit, Michigan. My first experience in the operating room (OR) was watching a kidney transplant. I found it remarkable the impact that the surgeon and the team had on this individuals’ life. That specific moment inspired me to enroll in medical school and eventually surgery. Seeing a surgeon is a stressful time in someone’s life. Being a part of an individual’s journey is truly a privilege and I take this responsibility seriously. In many instances, I will see a patient for many years, long beyond their initial surgery. As such, it is important to me to get to know my patients and their families and to be available to them throughout their journey. I enjoy all aspects of colorectal surgery. My specific interests include inflammatory bowel disease, colorectal cancer, and diverticulitis. When I am not with patients, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I especially enjoy travelling, seeing new places and new cultures. I enjoy being outdoors and hiking.
