Thomas M. Diehl, MD

Medical Practice

Thomas Diehl, MD, was drawn to general surgery by the breadth and complexity of diseases, the ability to treat emergencies and correct surgical issues, and the opportunity to develop a skill set that would benefit his community.

“I enjoy building trusting relationships and working one-on-one with patients to understand their goals, then identify individualized treatment plans or solutions that will improve their quality of life. It is a privilege to care for patients through some of their toughest, most vulnerable experiences. Seeing postoperative patients happier and healthier is incredibly rewarding.”

Dr. Diehl also chose general surgery in part because of its comprehensiveness and utility in resource-limited settings. As someone who is interested in continuing to train surgeons abroad, he understands the importance of being equipped to treat patients with a wide spectrum of disease processes.

Personal Interests

Outside of work, Dr. Diehl enjoys spending time outdoors with his wife, children, and dog. He also likes weight training, biking, attending concerts, playing piano and guitar, and international travel.
