CRMC INTRODUCES NEW GENERAL SURGEON

“I am very pleased to welcome Vincent Mazzarella, M.D., to our community and announce the opening of his medical practice in general surgery, stated Dale Kirby, CRMC Chief Executive Officer. Dr.
Mazzarella is available for appointments in his new office located in CRMC’s Specialty Medicine Clinic at 2967 Davison Court, Colusa. Dr. Mazzarella is board certified in general surgery by the American Board of Surgery, and specializes in vascular, thoracic, trauma and general surgery.

“I am very excited about the opportunities here in Colusa County,” comments Dr. Mazzarella. “The hospital and clinics are fully equipped and staffed to allow me to do all the things that I love. I will be performing laparoscopic surgery for a range of medical conditions. In addition, I will be providing consultations and second opinions for patients who want to explore their surgical options. I find working with cancer patients very rewarding and am very sensitive to the patient’s need to control the intensity of the surgical intervention.”

In addition to his surgical expertise, Dr. Mazzarella has been very active in the area of healthcare information technology and will be piloting an “electronic medical record” project in CRMC’s outpatient clinics. He prides himself on being very “hands on” and accessible to his patients. “I return my own phone calls and I am comfortable conversing with my patients in medical Spanish.”

Dr. Mazzarella is a native of Southern California. He attended the University of California at San Diego where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in biochemistry and cell biology. He earned his medical degree at the University of Illinois College of Medicine, and completed his surgical training at several prominent medical centers in the Los Angeles area.
