Who We Are

Our Physicians

All of our physicians are double board certified in the fields of colon and rectal surgery, as well as general surgery.

A team approach to patient care means that patients have access to a surgeon during normal work hours, evenings and weekends. This also means that a specialist is always on call to meet your needs.

Our History

Our practice was founded in 1986 by the late Dr. Leela Prasad, a pioneer in complex colorectal surgery in the Chicago area and, later, in the robotics in the colorectal field. Today our group is proud to serve patients throughout Chicagoland, Northern Illinois, Northern Indiana and Southern Wisconsin. Our physicians are widely respected by colleagues in their field locally, as well as at the national and international levels. In addition, all three physicians proudly hold academic positions at major Chicago universities.
