Biography: Dr. Bayasi is committed to the well-being of his patients and believes that practicing the art of medicine is about establishing a connection with each individual patient. That provides not only a personal touch but also a thorough understanding of their healthcare needs. Dr. Bayasi always explains to his patients the pathophysiology of their disease and current standards of care so they are well informed and make the best possible decision together for their healthcare needs. Dr. Bayasi and the team at Surgical Consultants of Northern Virginia put a concerted effort to make patients feel comfortable, to feel that their questions are answered and concerns are addressed. Dr. Bayasi earned his medical degree at the University of Damascus. He then completed surgical training at the University of Texas Medical Branch. He continued his training by completing a fellowship in colon and rectal surgery at the University of Louisville. He then joined the prestigious Georgetown University Medical School and served as an associate professor for nine years. When it comes to complicated diseases, Dr. Bayasi practices a multidisciplinary approach. This means involving other specialties to make sure patients get the best treatment option available. Dr. Bayasi specializes in minimally invasive surgery and robotic surgery. He is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons and The American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons. Outside of his practice, Dr. Bayasi enjoys playing tennis, hiking, spending time outdoors and traveling with his family.

Care Philosophy: In addition to treating many aspects of general surgery, Dr. Meikle focuses his practice on the expert treatment of benign and malignant diseases of the colon, rectum and anus. He is keenly aware of the apprehension that many patients may feel when they need to see a physician for a colorectal surgery problem and strives to make the patient feel as comfortable as possible throughout their treatment course. He enjoys spending time with patients to ensure they fully understand their individual surgical plan. Dr. Meikle has particular interest in minimally invasive/robotic surgery using the DaVinci Xi robotic system for the treatment of colon and rectal cancer as well as benign disease. He also performs diagnostic and screening colonoscopies.

Care Philosophy: I realize there's a lot of anxiety surrounding a doctor's visit. I want to minimize that as much as possible. I want you to feel like you're talking to a person rather than feeling separated by titles. I do strive to provide a lot of information at our visits. My philosophy is that the more you know the fewer suprises you'll encounter. At the same time I try not to inundate you with facts. I've personalized handouts for my most common procedures so you don't have to memorize anything. It's also important to me that when you come to my office you feel part of the decision-making process. I can certainly advise on many aspects of medical care but I want you to feel in the driver's seat. I never want someone to leave my office feeling they've been talked into surgery.
