Overview

I am a gastroenterologist and gastrointestinal cancer geneticist. I diagnose and treat a range of gastrointestinal conditions with endoscopy and colonoscopy. I also perform colonoscopy for colorectal cancer screening. As a member of the Hereditary Cancer Clinic, I am interested in helping patients assess their risk for gastrointestinal cancers. I work closely with genetic counselors to review family history of cancer, detailed health history, environmental exposures, and genetic testing results. I then integrate these findings to provide a personalized cancer risk assessment for each patient. My goal is to guide patients through treatment and screening programs to reduce their risk of cancer.

Dr. Roper is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Diverticular Disease. His top areas of expertise are Colorectal Cancer, Gastrointestinal Bleeding, Crohn's Disease, Colonoscopy, and Endoscopy.
