About Phoenix Unified Surgeons

Expert, Compassionate Colon & Rectal Surgery in Phoenix, Arizona

At Phoenix Unified Surgeons, we believe surgery is never just a procedure — it is a life event.

Founded in 2023, our practice was built from the ground up by Dr. Debora Fox-McClary and her surgical partners with one clear vision: to provide exceptional colon and rectal surgical care in Phoenix while guiding patients through the process with clarity, compassion, and partnership.

We understand that needing surgery can feel overwhelming. The healthcare system can be complicated and expensive, and for many patients, frightening. That is why we are committed not only to surgical excellence, but also to making your experience as seamless and supportive as possible — from your first phone call through recovery.

A Team Approach to Colorectal Surgery

When you choose Phoenix Unified Surgeons, you benefit from more than one surgeon’s expertise — you gain the collective knowledge of a collaborative surgical
team.

Our board-certified surgeons specialize in:

• Colon and rectal surgery
• Robotic colon surgery
• Minimally invasive colorectal procedures
• Treatment of rectal prolapse and rectocele
• Fecal incontinence management
• Complex abdominal and general surgery

We regularly collaborate on surgical planning, assist one another in the operating room when appropriate, and maintain close communication throughout your recovery. This team-based approach ensures comprehensive, thoughtful, and personalized colorectal care in Arizona.

Why We Do Things Differently

Communication is at the heart of everything we do.

We believe patients deserve to fully understand:

• Their diagnosis
• Whether surgery is necessary
• The risks and benefits of treatment
• What recovery will look like
• What outcomes to realistically expect

An informed patient is an empowered patient. Our goal is to ensure you feel confident in your decisions and supported at every stage.

Care Rooted in Personal Experience

Dr. Fox-McClary’s commitment to patient advocacy is deeply personal. After experiencing a complicated pregnancy that required more than two months of hospitalization — followed by significant billing challenges and insurance denials — she gained firsthand understanding of the stress patients face within modern
healthcare.

That experience shaped our practice philosophy: we strive to be your ally, not just your surgeon.

We recognize that surgery involves more than the operating room. It involves emotions, finances, logistics, and trust. Our team works diligently to guide patients through both the medical and administrative aspects of care with transparency and compassion.

Serving Phoenix and Rural Arizona

While our primary office is located in Phoenix, we are deeply committed to improving access to advanced surgical care across Arizona.

Our surgeons rotate through rural communities to provide preoperative consultations, surgical services, and postoperative follow-up. For patients requiring care in Phoenix, we ensure continuity between rural facilities and urban surgical resources — so no one feels lost in the system.

Built with Purpose. Growing with Pride.

Phoenix Unified Surgeons was created from scratch in 2023. Watching it grow into a thriving, compassionate, patient-centered surgical practice has been one of our
proudest accomplishments.

Our culture can be described in three words:

Expertise. Caring. Skilled.
But what matters most is how our patients experience that culture — through clear communication, coordinated care, and surgical outcomes we stand behind.

Our Commitment to You

If we could remove every frustrating aspect of healthcare, we would. While we cannot control the entire system, we can control how we show up for you.

We promise to:

• Listen carefully
• Communicate clearly
• Advocate when needed
• Deliver high-quality, evidence-based surgical care
• Partner with you from diagnosis through recovery

Whether you need routine colorectal surgery or complex operative management, our mission is simple: help you move through this chapter safely, confidently, and back to health.
