About Joshua Melson and Banner Safety Practices

Care Philosophy

Patient care involves listening to the concerns of the patient. As the physician, I serve as a guide to inform the patient on the best options for the patient. The provider needs to be both knowledgeable and available to provide effective care.

Specializing In

I have an interest and expertise in high-risk conditions that predispose to gastrointestinal cancers. I perform many endoscopic procedures and have an interest in advanced imaging of the gastrointestinal tract. I have a particular interest in how colonoscopy can be improved in its ability to reduce colorectal cancer morbidity and mortality.

Interests & Activities

I enjoy time with my family. I also enjoy exploring the outdoors especially since I have moved to Southern Arizona.

All Banner facilities are pleased to provide interpretation services to our patients and their companions for no charge - just ask when you arrive.

From the outset, he has made us aware of how to communicate most effectively with him whenever we need his assistance.
