Future

Dennis Begos was heavily involved in hospital leadership, being the president of the medical staff at Winchester Hospital for 2 years (2016-7), and chair of the department of surgery for 10 years (2006-16). I was involved with medical quality and safety monitoring, a very hot topic these days. I implemented clinical protocols in surgery that improved patient satisfaction, decreased length of stay, and lowered complication rates. This was a huge task that involved coordinating input from not only surgeons, but also nursing, anesthesiology, hospital administration, physical therapy, nutrition, etc.

I ski in the winter and play golf in the summer. I enjoy traveling, and have been to Africa, Alaska, Ireland, and Costa Rica in the past few years.

I was born and raised just north of NY City in Yonkers, NY. Nothing exciting in my childhood. I spent 2 years living in Ireland after college, where my mother is from and where I still have relatives. I was in medical school there but was able to transfer back to finish medical school here, where I graduated 4th in my class (1990). I then went on to a prestigious general surgery residency at Yale University (1990-96), where I was named Chief Resident in my last year, an honor. I spent one year at Yale also doing research, and published many papers and book chapters. I then went on to do a one year fellowship in colon and rectal surgery at the Cleveland Clinic (1996-97), where I trained with some of the world’s foremost experts in the field. From there I came to Massachusetts and joined the practice that I am currently in.
