General Surgery
Our skilled, board-certified General Surgeons specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of stomach and abdominal conditions, including inflammation, ulcers, colon and liver disorders, and other digestive concerns. Our expert physicians utilize advanced diagnostic tools and minimally invasive techniques to ensure precise diagnoses and effective treatments tailored to your specific needs.
Advanced Gastrointestinal (GI) Surgery
Gastrointestinal surgery addresses conditions affecting the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and rectum. Our skilled surgeons perform a variety of procedures, from removing abnormal growths and repairing hernias to treating digestive disorders and performing minimally invasive diagnostic procedures.
Our GI surgical expertise includes:
- Appendectomy – Emergency removal of an inflamed appendix to prevent complications.
- Colonoscopy – A minimally invasive procedure that examines the colon for abnormalities such as polyps or cancer.
- Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) – A diagnostic procedure using a small camera to assess the esophagus, stomach, and upper intestines.
Expert Gallbladder Surgery
If you’re experiencing gallbladder issues such as gallstones or inflammation, our team offers both minimally invasive and traditional surgical options to relieve discomfort and restore digestive health.
- Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy – A minimally invasive procedure that removes the gallbladder through small incisions, leading to quicker recovery and reduced discomfort.
- Open Cholecystectomy – A traditional approach used for complex cases, ensuring safe and effective treatment with expert post-surgical care.
Hernia Repair Surgery
Hernias occur when an organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles, often causing pain, discomfort, and visible bulging. Our surgeons offer both minimally invasive and traditional repair options to restore strength and function.
- Laparoscopic Hernia Repair – A minimally invasive technique using small incisions and a camera for precise repair, resulting in faster recovery and less post-surgery pain.
- Open Hernia Repair – A traditional approach that provides strong, long-lasting reinforcement for larger or more complex hernias.
After surgery, we provide detailed recovery plans, including guidance on activity levels, pain management, and follow-up appointments—ensuring a smooth, comfortable recovery so you can get back to living your life.
