Dr. Misasi is a board certified general surgeon and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons. He attended the University of Kansas - School of Medicine for medical school, and completed surgical residency in Wichita, Kansas. As a general surgeon, he performs a wide-variety of operations with a minimally-invasive approach, including robot-assisted surgery. He has special interest in disorders that affect the gastrointestinal tract, including reflux.
In my free time, I enjoy mountain biking, hunting, golf, billiards, and trying new hobbies. I love restaurants, dogs, vintage/retro music and culture, Formula 1, Chiefs, Royals, and rodeos.
