Our general surgery doctors offer comprehensive care for patients who need pancreas, esophagus, or breast surgery, or hernia repairs. They are equipped to treat melanoma, and benign and malignant diseases of the colon and thyroid. They also have extensive training in robotic-assisted surgery and advanced laparoscopic surgery, including for treatment of reflux.
Some of the more common types of surgery are when people have their gallbladder or appendix removed. Some colon and rectal diseases that general surgeons handle range from inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, to hemorrhoids, diverticulitis and gastrointestinal bleeding.
