Our Procedures
Hernia Surgery
Hernias occur when a part of an internal organ or tissue bulges through a weakness in the abdominal wall.
Gallbladder Surgery
The gallbladder functions to store bile, which is released following meals to help with digestion. Unfortunately, bile can form into stones which are the most common GI disorder requiring hospitalization in the United States.
Colon Surgery
The colon (aka the large intestine) plays an important role in digestion. Unfortunately 4-5% of individuals develop colon cancer or diverticulitis in their lifetime which is most commonly best treatment with surgery.
Hemorrhoid Surgery
Hemorrhoids are vascular areas in the rectum and anus which become swollen or enlarged most frequently from straining with bowel movements. Unfortunately if hemorrhoids continue to enlarge they can become painful and or cause bleeding.
