LEWISTON — Reza Rahbar, M.D., has joined the staff at Central Maine Surgical Associates. Rahbar is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he also received his medical degree. He completed general surgery training at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School in Boston and completed a fellowship in colorectal surgery at Louisiana State University, according to a news release from CMSA.
He most recently practiced colorectal surgery at UNC-Chapel Hill. He is board certified in both general and colorectal surgery.
He specializes in surgery for benign and malignant diseases of the colon and rectum with a focus on minimally invasive surgical techniques using advanced laparoscopic surgery, robotic surgery and surgical endoscopy, according to the release. Within the various colorectal diseases Rahbar holds a strong interest and experience in surgical management of Crohn’s Disease and ulcerative colitis.
“Surgery really is a calling, it requires a lot of you, but if you love it like I do, it gives back so much more,” said Rahbar in the release. “I enjoy being a sub-specialist caring for benign and malignant problems. People come to colorectal surgeons with problems they want fixed. I get to help them and in return I get to meet and care for many wonderful people. I realize that what I do as a surgeon is routine work for me, however, undergoing an operation or seeing a doctor in the office is anything but routine for a patient. Remembering that every day helps me keep at my best and connect with my patients.”
Rahbar practices at Central Maine Surgical Associates in collaboration with Nina Edwards, M.D.; Rajeev Puri, M.D.; James Reilly, M.D.; David Burke, M.D.; Laura Withers, M.D.; Anna Royer, M.D.; Kimberly Caldwell, P.A.-C.; Rebecca Gardina, P.A.-C.; Kate Grygiel, P.A.-C.; Rebecca Pare, F.N.P.; Elizabeth Pavao, F.N.P.; and Sara Reeder, P.A.-C.
