Please join us in welcoming General Surgeon Dr. Eric Delman, to the PRMC Surgical Specialists team and the PRMC medical staff.
Dr. Delman brings decades of surgical experience and a deep appreciation for caring for patients. Originally growing up in both Texas and Florida, he graduated from high school in Fort Myers, Florida before attending the University of Florida proudly cheering “Go Gators!” along the way. He later earned his medical degree in Kirksville, Missouri at what is now A.T. Still University.
After spending seven years training in Michigan, Dr. Delman practiced for 11 years in Northern California before making southeast Kansas home for the past 11 years. Throughout his career, he has enjoyed working in smaller communities where he can build lasting relationships with patients and families.
“I really appreciated the family-friendly atmosphere when I interviewed at PRMC,” said Dr. Delman. “It was especially nice to see that so many people who work at PRMC have been there for many years. I have always worked in small towns and really enjoy them.”
Dr. Delman says one of the things he loves most about being a general surgeon is the variety the specialty offers. “I love doing surgery and appreciate being a General Surgeon who gets to do everything,” he shared.
Outside of medicine, Dr. Delman enjoys golfing, traveling, and spending time outdoors with his family. When visiting his wife’s family in Vancouver, Canada, they especially enjoy hiking together. He also enjoys fishing from time to time.
Dr. Delman and his wife, Ulla, have four children:
- Emily, 22, recently graduated from the University of Arkansas
- Ben, 19, is entering his sophomore year at Pittsburg State University
- Jack, 16, will be a senior next year at Joplin High School
- Noelle, 8, will be entering third grade this fall
We are excited to welcome Dr. Delman to the PRMC family and look forward to the compassionate, high-quality surgical care he will provide for our community. Dr. Delman will begin seeing patients at PRMC and the Surgical Specialists clinic in July. To schedule an appointment please call (620) 672-6454.
