This week we had such a great conversation with Dr. David Schwartzberg! Dr. Schwartzberg is a double-board certified colorectal surgeon at Mather Hospital and Columbia specializing in IBD, pelvic floor conditions, re-operative colorectal surgeries, J-Pouch disorders, and minimally invasive surgical techniques. We talked to him about his passion for colorectal surgery and how he spends any free time he has that's not with his family researching and learning more about it. We talked to him about his drive to find a career that helped people and had a true impact on the world. We discussed his interest in J-Pouches and improving complications that may come with previous surgeries. We explored how some folks that had been diagnosed with UC to start may now have a Crohn's diagnosis post J-Pouch and also upper GI Crohn's disease. We also talked about his love of music and how he and his wife have fostered that love in his 3 boys. We also talked about many other things including the improved technology in buckets but I cut that part out. Needless to say we laughed, we cried, we went off the rails but I promise you're getting the best part. We don't think Dr. Schwartzberg could be more more passionate about caring for people living with IBD and their families and we can't wait for you to hear that in this conversation too.
