Joseph D. Mills, Jr., MD
Colorectal Surgery
A colorectal surgeon with UBMD Surgery, I also serve as a board-certified attending colon and rectal surgeon at ECMC.
I specialize in colon, rectal and anal cancer, hemorrhoids, anal fissures, diverticulitis, constipation and fecal incontinence, as well as the surgical management of Inflammatory Bowel Disease. I am trained in minimally invasive techniques, including robotic, laparoscopic and transanal surgery, in addition to traditional open surgery.
In addition to my clinical work, I also serve as an Assistant Professor of Surgery with the University at Buffalo, where I am involved in the oversight and training of the colon and rectal surgery fellows and general surgery residents at multiple hospitals.
