Debora McClary M.D..

I completed medical school in 1994 at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington.  I did my residency in General Surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, completing my training in 1999.  In 2000, I completed my fellowship training at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, one of the top colon and rectal surgery programs in the United States.  I am boarded in both General Surgery and Colon and Rectal Surgery. After completing my training, I moved to Bellingham, Washington and joined a multispecialty medical group.  There I met and married my husband, Joey, and we had our daughter Rebecca.  Our joined family included 2 dogs and 3 cats.  In January 2008 we decided to relocate to Phoenix to be closer to my in-laws as they were getting older and needed family nearby.  This also let our daughter get to know Grandma and Grandpa better. I like to spend my spare time with my husband and daughter.  We share a love of cars and science fiction.  I am also a techno-geek and love all things electronic – especially my iphone.  I recently completed the restoration of a 1968 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia and love zipping around in it, maybe you’ll see me on the road.

It is so important to get your checkup for colon cancer, I am pleased to assist you with your procedure.  I am proud to be part of Thunderbird Internal Medicine and their excellent preventative medicine program. I am a board-certified Colon and Rectal Surgeon, a surgeon who specializes in treating diseases of the colon.  In addition to doing colonoscopies, I perform minimally invasive surgery for colon problems such as diverticulitis and colon cancer and perform anal surgeries for hemorrhoids, fissures and other anal abnormalities.
