Brant K. Oelschlager, MD

Dr. Oelschlager is a board-certified surgeon who specializes in gastrointestinal surgery and esophageal surgery. He has advanced training in minimally invasive procedures and directs the UW's Center for Videoendoscopic Surgery.

Patient Care Philosophy:

I believe in providing state of the art care and at the same time helping patients make individualized care decisions. I also believe that surgical care, even for cancer, can be provided less invasively, and therefore patients are able to get on with life more quickly.
