Dr. Chris the Surgery Guy Chris J. Cottrell, MD, FACS

Join me as I talk with Dr. Nicole Rogers about the differences between freestanding ER's, urgent cares and Hospital based ER's.  The differences may surprise you.  Hopefully this can help you make better health care decisions in an emergency!

The Surgery Guy discusses bariatric surgeries.  A bit about the types of surgeries available and some important advice for patients considering surgery.                                                              

Had a chance to talk with an old friend Dr. Doug Cummings. In this episode Dr. Cummings gives his thoughts on reflux and reflux surgery, as well as perspectives on living and practicing in a small town.

I had a nice sit down with myself after polling some of my doctor friends about their frustrations. Not sure I had any real answers, but I feel better. I hope you will too!

I had the Great Pleasure to sit down with Dr. Murray and discuss our common interest of minimally invasive reflux treatment and the TIF procedure.  I found the conversation very interesting as while we have common goals and perspectives our approaches differ slightly.  One of my favorite parts of this forum is the ability to learn from my guests, improve my own care and hopefully my guest's as well.

A bit of a departure from the normal format. Dr. Cottrell speaks from the heart about end of life issues. Hopefully aimed at helping physicians in dealing with difficult issues in the terminal patient.
