About R. Richard Rasmussen

About The Provider

I enjoy complex operations through small incisions.  I use the robot a lot in my operations.  It provides better visualization and better accuracy.  This leads to fewer complications.  I work very hard to care for patients.  Some of the operations that I like to perform are colon surgery, stomach surgery including weight loss surgery such as gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy, removing adrenal glands, spleens and gallbladders and fixing abdominal wall and groin hernias.
