Our surgeons are experts in the management of breast cancer and other breast disorders.
We are experienced in office-based ultrasound and we also perform many biopsies
in the office. We specialize in minimally-invasive techniques and offer state-of-the-art
breast care. We also provide risk assessment and consultation for patients who are
at increased risk of developing breast cancer.
Colorectal surgery includes polyps, cancer, diverticular disease and inflammatory
bowel disease. Many of these operations can be performed using minimally-invasive
techniques. We treat many benign diseases such as hemorrhoids on an outpatient basis
resulting in minimal pain and a short recovery time.
This most commonly refers to surgery of the thyroid, parathyroid glands and adrenal
glands. We perform numerous operations for benign and malignant diseases of these
glands.
Gallbladder surgery is one of the most frequent operations performed in our practice
and is most often used to remove gallstones. This common disease is generally treated
on an outpatient basis using minimally-invasive techniques.
GERD is a disorder commonly known as heartburn. Most often this condition can be
controlled with medication; however, in severe cases, surgery is sometimes warranted.
We perform a very successful, minimally-invasive procedure requiring 24-hour hospital
stay that allows the patient to return to normal activity in seven days.
Surgery of the GI tract is performed to treat various diseases of the digestive
system including cancer as well as a variety of benign conditions. The organs involved
include the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, gallbladder, spleen and
liver. We use minimally-invasive techniques whenever possible.
This procedure involves creating an access to the bloodstream in order to clear the blood of toxic waste when the kidneys fail. We offer expertise in providing both dialysis access and long-term intravenous catheters.
A hernia is defined as a defect in the abdominal wall which allows intra-abdominal organs to protrude. We treat the vast majority of hernia patients with minimally-invasive techniques that allow the patient to return to normal activity within 72 hours.
Our surgeons have extensive experience caring for children. We have performed hundreds of procedures to treat children including hernia repairs, appendectomies as well as intestinal and stomach surgery.
Abnormal skin lesions, moles and lumps are very common and can be a sign of skin cancer. These abnormalities as well as some forms of skin cancer often can be removed in the office under local anesthesia.
Surgical oncology or cancer surgery often involves radical surgery to remove the diseased organs. We specialize in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of many forms of cancer including major pancreatic, liver and bile duct surgery.
We have vast experience in the treatment of traumatic injuries and play an integral role in the trauma teams at our two area hospitals. We manage our patients from the time of injury, during surgery and in the intensive care unit. We are experts in the latest critical care techniques and all of our physicians are certified in Advanced Trauma and Life Support.
Our expertise includes the treatment of slow-healing wounds such as traumatic, diabetic, venous and arterial wounds. Additionally, we have extensive experience and training in other forms of wound healing techniques including skin grafts.
