Meet Our Panelist: Dr. Russell Roark

You aren’t alone in the struggle to evaluate emerging technologies for use in your ASC.

On Thursday, May 7, from 7 to 8 p.m. CT, AMSURG’s Surgery Sessions webinar will feature firsthand insights from physicians with a range of experience and backgrounds, and questions will be taken at the end. This won’t be a sales pitch. This is a showcase of real-world experience from physicians who’ve been there.

Meet Dr. Russell Roark

A native of West Texas, Dr. Russell Roark was born and raised in Abilene. He graduated from Abilene High School and obtained his undergraduate degree in economics and biology from Texas A&M University. He continued his education at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) medical school, where he also completed internal medicine training. Dr. Roark then attended the University of Arkansas Medical School for specialized training in gastroenterology. Currently, he practices at the Abilene Endoscopy Center, which was recently named one of Newsweek’s Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers for 2025. Dr. Roark has completed an additional year of advanced endoscopic training in Arkansas, all with the goal of returning to Abilene to provide quality gastroenterology care. He is board-certified in Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology.
