Overview

Philosophy of care | My goal always is to provide compassionate and personalized care. | Why I entered medicine | I chose medicine to make a difference in people's lives. I specialize in bariatric surgery because obesity is one of the most serious risks to our community's health. I especially enjoy the reduction in medications and medical problems that my patients experience after weight-loss surgery. | Personal interests | I enjoy boating and sports.

Philosophy of care | I feel that the body is an amazing structure with the unique ability to heal most injuries and diseases. I view surgery as a way to assist the body in healing itself by removing disease and infection or providing a framework for which the body can heal. | Why I entered medicine | Surgery was always a natural fit for me. I am able to combine my technical skills and knowledge of the body to create immediate results, often increasing the quality of life for people. | Personal interests | I enjoy spending time with my wife and my boys boating, playing a variety of sports and going ice skating. I also enjoy being outdoors and traveling with my family. Dr. Cesanek is highly rated in 10 conditions, according to our data. His top areas of expertise are Hernia, Gallbladder Disease, Hiatal Hernia, Endoscopy, and Parathyroidectomy.
