ABOUT US

Brian Dooreck, MD, trained in Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital and Center for Liver Diseases, then joined Gastrointestinal Diagnostic Centers and the Memorial Healthcare System in 2005 in South Florida.

​

In 2000, he had diagnosed patients with colorectal cancer hundreds of times during his years in practice.

 

During those post-procedure patient conversations at the bedside, when someone's world is "turned upside down," he discusses CT scans and lab test results, schedules time with oncologists, and sends the patient home.

 

He realized something important is often left out of these conversations: guidance on where patients can find reliable information and support. He began formulating a plan to fill this gap.

​

Dr. Dooreck joined a Zoom call with representatives from five CRC organizations to pitch his idea: the Colorectal Cancer Provider Outreach Program, initially a text message system to connect patients to these organizations and the free services they provide patients.

 

Now, the FREE resources are here at coloncancer.support for you, your loved ones, your patients, and anyone selling guidance, reassurance, and support from trusted resources.
