“The satisfaction of performing an operation well that results in the cure of a disease for a patient, and then having the opportunity to see that patient relieved of suffering, is why I chose to become a surgeon,” said Corey Stennes, M.D., F.A.C.S. At Specialists in General Surgery, “the people are amazing,” he added. “Everyone works hard to excel in what they do, and it shows in the care our patients receive.” Dr. Stennes and his wife, Lauren, a pediatrician, enjoy spending time with family, traveling, and exploring the outdoors.
