Overview
Dr. Elizabeth C. Wick is a surgeon who specializes in caring for patients with conditions of the colon, rectum and anus, such as colon, rectal and anal cancer; inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); diverticular disease (in which small pouches that have formed in the colon wall push through weak spots and cause inflammation); and perianal disease (a group of conditions affecting the rectum, anus or skin around the anus).

Wick earned her medical degree from the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. She completed a residency in surgery at UCSF, followed by a fellowship in colorectal surgery at the Cleveland Clinic.
