Mission Statement
|
The mission of Central Ohio Colon and Rectal Center, Inc. is to provide quality healthcare while maintaining professional yet compassionate involvement with patients, their families, our staff, and the medical community. Our Story Central Ohio Colon and Rectal Center, Inc., also known as COCRC, has well established roots in the central Ohio community as the oldest colorectal surgery practice. Originally founded by Dr. Ralph Samson and Dr. William Stewart as MD’s Inc in April of 1969, the practice changed its name to Central Ohio Colon and Rectal Center, Inc. in 1981 with the addition of Dr. Pedro Aguilar, current President of COCRC.
The founding physicians soon retired, but Dr. Bruce Kerner joined the practice in 1990, along with Dr. David Giammar in 2002. Dr. Aguilar continues to practice with COCRC and also is the director of the Grant Medical Center Colon and Rectal Surgery Residency program. Both Dr. Kerner and Dr. Giammar, along with Dr. Aguilar, serve on numerous hospital and surgical center committees and participate in residency activities, including training and seminars. Dr. Peter Lee, who joined COCRC in 2009, is quickly settling in the Northwest Columbus area and his practice is growing quickly. Our newest colon and rectal surgeon, Dr. Melinda Jack, started practicing with COCRC in 2010 and has been a great asset as the only female colon and rectal surgeon in the area.
COCRC currently has offices loactaed on or near the campuses of Mount Carmel East Hospital, Grant Medical Center, and Riverside Methodist Hospital. COCRC Surgeons can also offer patients out patient surgery options at Taylor Station Surgery Center, Knightsbridge Surgery, Eastside Surgery Center and Downtown Endoscopy Surgery |
