Jeffrey L. Van Eps, MD, is a colon and rectal surgeon who treats adult and senior patients for a wide range of gastrointestinal conditions. He combines evidence-based medicine with emerging surgical technology and minimally invasive approaches to achieve shorter hospital stays and excellent outcomes.
Dr. Van Eps values open communication, and his patients compliment his approachable bedside manner and attention to detail. He understands that colon and rectal disease puts patients in a vulnerable position. With that in mind, he is committed to partnering with his patients on their journey back to health.
As part of his post-graduate training, Dr. Van Eps completed a 3-year research fellowship focusing on surgical applications of regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, advanced biomaterials and nanomedicine. He continues his research endeavors as an assistant professor in the Department of Surgery at The University of Texas Health Science Science Center at Houston (UTHealth).
When not seeing patients, Dr. Van Eps enjoys spending time with his family and children. He also enjoys outdoor and sporting activities such as golf, football, hiking, fly fishing and remodeling.
