Specially Trained in Pancreatic and Hepatobiliary Surgery

Dr. Campbell has specific expertise with advanced training and day-to-day surgical knowledge of the complex demands of pancreatic and hepatobiliary surgery.

Dr. Campbell works closely with his patients, their families and the patient's medical care teams to ensure thorough and careful attention is given to every phase of a patient’s recovery.

Dr. Kurtis Campbell was specially trained in the Whipple procedure - a complex surgery for pancreatic cancer -  and mentored under one of the foremost experts on the Whipple procedure.

Patients Look For Experienced, Skilled Surgical Oncologists
