About me

Dr. Kenzo Hirose is a surgeon who cares for patients with benign or cancerous conditions affecting the liver, pancreas and bile ducts. He has expertise in using minimally invasive surgical techniques, which are generally safer and cause less post-op pain than traditional surgery.

In his research, Hirose is interested in improving patient outcomes after surgery.

Hirose earned his medical degree at Harvard Medical School. He completed a residency in general surgery at UCSF and a fellowship in liver, pancreatic and biliary tract surgery at the Cleveland Clinic.
