From repairing hernias to removing gallstones to excising gastric tumors, our general surgeons treat patients with a broad range of conditions. General surgeons are trained to perform surgery on body parts from head to foot, and work with patients in relatively good health as well as those who are critically ill or have suffered traumatic injuries.

Depending on the surgery being performed, our general surgeons may use open or minimally invasive surgical techniques, which can support a faster recovery and fewer complications.
