Dr. Alan Herline is chief of the Division of Colon and Rectal Surgery at Memorial Healthcare System and focused on building a world-class program to serve South Floridians with cancer, diverticulitis, Crohn’s, colitis, and other diseases of the colon and rectum. That includes a personalized approach for each individual that stresses the quality of the interaction over the quantity of encounters.
“We deliver outstanding technical care and outcomes, but also treat each patient and their family with a lot of heart,” said Herline, a fellowship-trained physician that is also an instructor in Memorial’s Graduate Medical Education program.
A former engineer, Herline leads a Memorial’s Colon and Rectal program team whose specialists all perform robotic and minimally-invasive operations. The approach and an enhanced recovery after surgery initiative has enabled their patients to avoid more than 700 days in the hospital in the last three years.
