WORKING HOURS
Dr. Nathan Emerson has a special interest in endoscopic reflux surgery; he is specially trained to perform transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF), an innovative procedure that restores the body’s natural protection against esophageal reflux. Many patients suffer from heartburn and regurgitation despite adequate medical therapies. The TIF operation is an effective and safe procedure with minimal complication rates for those patients with difficulty controlling the symptoms of reflux.
He is board certified by the American Board of Surgery and is an experienced general surgeon capable of performing the full range of operations in the specialty as well as advanced laparoscopic techniques.
Dr. Emerson is married and just welcomed his first child into the world. In his spare time, he enjoys fly-fishing, camping, hiking, reading, sailing, and running.
What Dr. Emerson’s Patients Say
I had a gall bladder attack, […] I needed surgery asap. They scheduled me to have surgery with Dr. Emerson. Not knowing of him, made me a little nervous at first but once I met him I felt relieved. He is very attentive and answers all your questions and concerns you may have. My surgery went well and since it was a very bad case as the gall bladder was infected, I had a lot to deal with but Dr Emerson was terrific and I can’t say enough about him. I highly recommend him.
STORMY DAWN
Dr. Emerson is amazing. I hope his passion for what he does never dies. His bedside manner is admirable. He made me and my family completely comfortable. He kept my mom informed, which meant so much to me. I saw him on Tuesday and had my surgery Thursday. His confidence put me at ease. I’m grateful for my entire experience with Dr. Emerson.
RANDI W.
I was suffering in pain with a gall bladder that needed to come out. He was able to get me booked quick, and even when an obstacle came up, he did not reschedule. He overcame it, waited and complete the surgery the same day. Hopefully it will never happen, but if I even need a surgeon again, I will see Dr. Emerson in a heartbeat.
