Community Hospital-Fairfax in Fairfax, Missouri, is pleased to announce that board-certified General Surgeon Roderick Warren, MD, will join its team of specialists beginning in October, expanding local surgical services for area patients.

Dr. Warren’s first clinic will be held on October 8, after which he will see patients onsite on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month. With more than 20 years of surgical experience, Dr. Warren provides a full spectrum of general surgery services and is recognized for his expertise in the surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). His advanced training and patient-centered approach allow him to offer effective treatment options with compassionate, individualized care.

“We are excited to welcome Dr. Warren to Community Hospital-Fairfax,” said Ann Schlueter, CEO. “His experience, commitment to rural healthcare, and breadth of surgical expertise will be a tremendous asset to our patients and community.”

Dr. Warren is eager to strengthen and grow surgical services in Fairfax, giving patients more opportunities to receive care locally rather than traveling outside the area for treatment. His practice experience in several regional communities reflects a longstanding dedication to serving rural populations and improving access to specialty care.

Community Hospital-Fairfax also extends its sincere appreciation to Dr. Eric Bendorf for the compassionate care he has provided over the years. He will continue seeing patients through September to help ensure a smooth transition for those requiring surgical services.
