About Me

Direct communication with patients is a must in today’s technologically advanced world. Texting and e-mails are common but do not take the place of a direct conversation with patients. I strive to reach out to my patients to explain, discuss, and listen to their surgical issues.

St Luke’s offered me one of its first surgical residency positions back in 1995 and I continued my journey as a board-certified member of the surgical staff. I enjoyed the privilege of performing the first surgical procedure at St Luke’s Anderson.

I currently perform surgeries for hernias, gallbladder disease, thyroid issues, moles and skin lesions, small and large bowel disease and some breast issues. I also perform screening endoscopy/colonoscopy. In the right context, I can offer open, laparoscopic or even robotic methods.

Outside of work, I enjoy time with my wife and two daughters. As a native of Boston, I still enjoy my New England sports teams.

Richard W Conron, DOwas very respectful and was very informative about my condition.

07/14/2024
This visit to Dr. Conron was a perfunctory visit from my 5-year followup colonoscopy as he had done all my past colonoscopies when he had his own practice. He was also the surgeon for my lumpectomy in 2006 for breast cancer. As I told Dr. Conron, should a need arise in the future for general surgery, his office is the one I would call right away. I cannot speak highly enough of his doctor/patient interactions and the trust he imparts.

Very good experience! Definitely recommend this provider.

From the initial appointment made, everyone has been very personable, professional. Always having my best interest at the forefront. Linda called me after my initial appointment was made asking if I wanted an appointment sooner than the one I had, making it a full week plus earlier. All questions were answered by Dr. Conron, he too was professional but made me feel comfortable and was able to take care of the issue right then and there, not needing another appointment for the removal. Excellent. Very happy with everyone I came in contact with in the offuce.

Great experience

01/13/2024
Dr Conron appears to be very practical. We discussed pros/cons of surgery and he too advised to take a cautious approach and monitor over the coming months. Perhaps surgery can be avoided. To me that is a sign of a great Dr/ surgeon

01/05/2024
The Dr was very knowledgeable and personable..........I would definitely recommend to others.
