March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month. Don’t forget to schedule your colonoscopy!

Clifton Cox, M.D.

Colorectal Surgeon

Why did you choose to specialize in Colorectal surgery?

I recognized that the application of skill, effort, and technology could significantly impact patient well-being, whether it be a life-threatening problem such as colon cancer, or a quality of life threatening problem such as hemorrhoids.

 

Do you have a specialty of interest?

My specialty interest lies in providing comprehensive outpatient care. I focus specifically on outpatient anorectal surgery, colonoscopy, and non-surgical office hemorrhoid treatment, ensuring patients receive expert care in a comfortable and convenient setting.

 

What do you and your family enjoy doing in your spare time?

Outside of work I enjoy cycling, zymurgy, history, fiction, computers, exercise, hiking, and playing foosball.
