Surgery

Many diverse conditions often require surgery to treat them. General surgeons are trained to diagnose and manage a wide range of diseases and disorders. Their area of expertise is, essentially, the entire body.

What to Expect

You’ll meet with a general surgeon in an office setting prior to scheduling any surgery to review your medical history, your condition and determine if surgery is ultimately the best treatment option for you.

If it is decided that surgery is needed, you’ll be scheduled for surgery with our Surgery Services.

After your surgery, you’ll often follow-up with a post-op visit with your same surgeon.

Emergency Surgery

If your condition requires emergency surgery, our general surgeons partner closely with our emergency medicine physicians to provide you with safe, timely care for your emergent condition, such as a appendectomy or bowel obstruction.
