ENID, OK - INTEGRIS Bass Baptist Health Center is excited to welcome general surgeon, Bret Haines, D.O. Haines joins John Goulart, D.O., as part of the INTEGRIS General Surgery Enid team.
Born in Tulsa, Haines spent most of his childhood growing up in Stillwater, Okla., where he graduated high school. He completed his undergraduate studies at Oklahoma State University, earning a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry. While at OSU, he walked onto the football team as a place kicker. He also met his wife, Jessica, there. Together they share four children.
Haines first became interested in medicine as a young boy. His father is a family medicine physician, and Bret grew up observing the positive impact a career in medicine has on patients and the community.
After completing his undergraduate degree at OSU, he received a certificate in public health from the University of Oklahoma. He then attended medical school at Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed his general surgery residency at Oklahoma State University Medical Center in Tulsa. During his exposure to general surgery, he immediately felt called to it because surgery provides the unique opportunity to combine both clinical knowledge and technical skills.
“I am eager to begin establishing relationships with my patients and peers and begin to utilize my skills to improve the health and lives of my patients,” Haines said. “We also have family in Enid, so I was immediately attracted to this opportunity. I look forward to being a part of the INTEGRIS Health system.”
Some of Haines’s areas of interest include laparoscopic/robotic surgery, abdominal wall hernias, gastrointestinal disorders and endoscopy.
Haines officially begins practicing Monday, Aug. 30. His office is located at 620 S. Madison, Suite 108 in Enid.
