    In addition to being a general surgeon, I have advanced training in the medical and surgical management of colon and rectal problems. I enjoy helping patients understand their condition while we decide together if surgery is the best option. My specific areas of interest include anorectal disorders (hemorrhoids, fissures, rectal abscesses and fistulas), pelvic floor problems (rectal prolapse, fecal incontinence and constipation), inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis), and colon and rectal cancer. I also perform colonoscopy and flexible sigmoidoscopy for the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up care of these conditions. When possible, I use minimally invasive procedures, such as robotic and laparoscopic surgery, to maximize patient comfort and speed recovery. I also serve as Medical Director for Surgical Quality Improvement at HealthPartners and Park Nicollet. Dr. Willis is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in Colonoscopy.

    Having a health condition that may need surgery can be difficult. My goal is to communicate well with every patient about what can be done. There may be more than one choice of what to do, and I try to help my patients come to a shared decision that is best for their situation. As a colon and rectal surgeon, I treat a wide spectrum of patients, from patients getting a colonoscopy to check for polyps, patients with anal and rectal problems, to patients needing major abdominal surgery for serious conditions. As much as possible, I try to do surgery through minimal incisions. I hope to make the process of having surgery less stressful. A well-informed patient makes the best patient.

    What is the definition of Colonoscopy?

    A colonoscopy is an exam that views the inside of the colon (large intestine) and rectum, using a tool called a colonoscope.

    The colonoscope has a small camera attached to a flexible tube that can reach the entire length of the colon.

    When should I see a Colonoscopy doctor near Burnsville, MN?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing a Colonoscopy doctor near Burnsville, MN?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Colonoscopy doctors near Burnsville, MN?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Colonoscopy doctors near Burnsville, MN?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with a Colonoscopy doctor near Burnsville, MN?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Colonoscopy doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Colonoscopy doctor?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with a Colonoscopy doctor near Burnsville, MN?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Colonoscopy doctor?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Colonoscopy doctor may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Colonoscopy doctors near Burnsville, MN?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Colonoscopy doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find a Colonoscopy doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Colonoscopy doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
