Considering Surgery?
Our general surgeons care for patients needing surgery on the abdomen, skin, breast, soft tissues, esophagus, stomach, small bowel, colon, gallbladder and bile ducts, among other organs. Common (and painful) issues like gallbladder problems, hernias and hemorrhoids can often be taken care of with minimally invasive (Laparoscopic) surgical techniques, resulting in less pain, minimal scarring and faster recoveries. Don't delay and get some pain relief -- call today to schedule a consultation with a board-certified surgeon at 618-998-7155.
