Our General Surgeons
Our new general surgeons, Dr. Bryan Anderson and Dr. Brian Newell, are eager to provide an increased variety of general surgery options for Palouse-area patients, so members of the community don’t feel like they have to turn to far-away institutions to get the same care that’s provided in our community.
Dr. Bryan Anderson, MD, FACS General Surgeon
Since beginning practice in 1999, Dr. Anderson’s specialties have encompassed everything from acute care, trauma surgery at Idaho’s largest trauma center, colorectal, endocrine, endoscopy as well as minimally invasive techniques for surgeries including hernia, upper GI and reflux disease. He’s joining us from Idaho’s Treasure Valley, where he held admitting privileges with both major Boise-area hospital systems—St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center and St. Luke’s Boise Medical Center.
His appointment at Gritman is a return to Moscow for Dr. Anderson, who received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Idaho before attending medical school at the University of Arizona and a general surgery residency at Michigan State University.
As a surgeon, I love to operate, I love to see patients’ lives improved, take care of acute problems for them, that’s something I’ve always enjoyed.Dr. Bryan Anderson
Dr. Brian Newell, MD General Surgeon
Dr. Newell lived in the Northwest and West most of his life prior to starting his medical training, where he helped foster a love of the outdoors and activities like hunting, biking, baseball and pickleball. Other interests include home renovation and singing as a family.
Dr. Newell comes to Gritman from Pennsylvania, where he recently completed a residency program as Chief Resident in General Surgery from Wellspan York Hospital, a Johns Hopkins affiliate in pediatric and transplant surgeries.
He is returning to the region after amassing more than 1,500 surgery cases during his career, including hundreds of endoscopes.
I chose to be a true general surgeon able to take care of the broad surgical needs of a community, I look forward to lifelong learning and getting continued training in whatever needs my community has.Dr. Brian Newell
