Dr. Stephanie A. Wishnev

Stephanie Wishnev was born in Philadelphia in 1963. Her father, grandfather and uncle are all physicians. Her mother is a pharmacist. So, she came to medicine quite naturally.

Dr. Wishnev graduated from the Honors Program in Medical Education at Northwestern University in Chicago with a B.S.Med and an M.D. She completed her General Surgery Residency at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in 1994 and her Colon and Rectal Surgery Fellowship in New Jersey in affiliation with the Robert Wood Johnson School of Medicine.

As the only board certified colon and rectal surgeon in active practice in Las Vegas, her scope of practice is diverse. Treatment of everything from fissures, fistulas and anal pain to diverticular disease, inflammatory bowel disease and cancer is offered. Comprehensive diagnosis, surgical treatment and follow-up for colon and rectal cancer are available. She is the only surgeon in the state currently performing anorectal ultrasound for rectal cancer and fecal incontinence. Her most recent area of interest has been to apply minimally invasive techniques for colon and rectal surgery, so that patients can recuperate faster and with less pain.
