Philosophy of Care
Empathy, communication, and education are cornerstones of patient care. Taking the time to listen and explain the diagnosis, management and treatment options, allows a patient to be fully informed and to be an active participant in their own care. I believe this creates a strong doctor-patient relationship.
Clinical Interests
Dr. Marsano's clinical interests include management of general gastroenterology conditions. He also has a clinical interest in colon cancer prevention, hereditary colorectal cancer and polyposis syndromes.
Research/Academic Interests
Dr. Marsano's research interests reside in colon cancer screening and prevention by studying ways to increase polyp detection.
