Gastrointestinal diseases can have a huge impact on an individual’s quality of life, and often go untreated. Colorectal surgeons have access to the latest surgical technologies to treat a wide variety of diseases of the intestinal tract, colon, rectal, anus and perianal area by surgical and medical means. Colorectal surgeons also deal with other organ tissues surrounding the gastrointestinal tract such as urinary and female reproductive systems.

Dr. Nandra is board certified in Surgery by the American Board of Surgery (ABS). He is also board certified in Colon and Rectal Surgery by the American Board of Colon and Rectal Surgery (ABCRS).
