About

Dr. Gould joined Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin as the Chief of General Surgery (now known as Minimally Invasive and Gastrointestinal Surgery) in 2011 after 9 years in practice at the University of Wisconsin. He is currently Professor of Surgery and he holds the Walker Endowed Chair in General Surgery at the Medical College. He has a national reputation as a minimally invasive foregut surgeon (specializes in the surgical treatment of diseases of the stomach and esophagus) and as a bariatric surgeon (weight loss surgery). He is frequently invited to give talks on his areas of expertise, and has published extensively on these topics as well. His research focus is on clinical outcomes in foregut surgery, innovation and the development of new surgical devices and technologies, and surgical skills training through simulation.

The visit exceeded our expectations. My mom has questioned the severity of her condition and hearing it explained clearly and how it could be corrected and the possible benefits made this an easy choice for her to make. We feel like we are in very safe hands
