About Mitra Ehsan

Dr. Ehsan specializes in minimally invasive surgical treatments of benign and malignant diseases of the colon, rectum and anus. She regularly collaborates with regional physicians and surgeons to treat complex oncology (cancer) cases and pelvic floor reconstruction, including the da Vinci robotic approach. Dr. Ehsan aims to deliver the best possible colorectal surgical care to the residents of the Eastside. She grew up in the area, her extended family lives here, and her community is here.

Dedicated to helping her patients understand their disease, Dr. Ehsan encourages her patients to be active partners in their care.

    137 ratings, 33 reviews

    The ratings and comments seen on provider profiles are gathered from patient surveys, which are conducted by an independent patient satisfaction organization called Press Ganey. Star ratings are only displayed for surveyed Overlake providers who have accumulated 30 or more survey responses in outpatient clinical settings. While we are committed to publishing both positive and negative comments, we also maintain a rigorous process to review and remove comments that are profane, libelous, unrelated to the provider, or violate patient privacy.

      Besides the wonderful nurses, the members of Dr. Ehsan's entire team were outstanding in the care and attention they provided--as well as having a great sense of humor. I appreciated their congeniality very much and helped me relax prior to the anesthesia.
