Nicholas Coorough - Bellin Health Surgical Associates-Oconto

General Surgeon Nicholas Coorough, MD, knew he wanted to help people with surgical interventions early on in high school after his dad had heart surgery. Thanks to a few hours on the operating table and a recovery period, Dr. Coorough got his dad back - a dad who could run around the yard and hang out with him again. He gets excited about doing that for other families and hopes his patients can feel how much he loves his job.Specialty Interests:General Surgery for All AgesGall Bladder SurgeryColon Cancer and Colorectal SurgeryGastrointestinal SurgeryAppendicitisBreast SurgeryVaricose VeinsHernia SurgeryThyroid and Parathyroid SurgeriesSpecialty Procedures:Minimally Invasive Surgery TechniquesLaparoscopic SurgeryRadiofrequency Ablation (RFA)Robotic SurgeryEducation:Residency: General Surgery, Gundersen Health System, LaCrosse, WIMedical Degree: University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WIBachelor's Degree: Biology and Zoology, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WIPersonal:Born and raised in Wisconsin, Dr. Coorough and his wife have one daughter.
