Our practice is dedicated to pioneering advances in the surgical treatment of abdominal diseases through laparoscopic surgery. In the last decade, laparoscopy has been the most innovative surgical movement in general surgery. Minimally invasive surgery performed through a few small incisions offers patients a better surgical option and many diseases can be treated with laparoscopic techniques.

Traditional surgery for abdominal conditions requires a large incision so that the area being operated on is in direct view. This is effective but leads to lengthy recovery times, significant absence from work and regular activities, and large cosmetic defects.

Compared with traditional open surgery, laparoscopic procedures shorten recovery times, allow patients to return to work and regular activities faster, and produce better cosmetic results. The development of laparoscopic techniques can now be used for many different abdominal procedures including gallbladder, colon, hernia, and esophageal.

The number one priority for our practice is ensuring patient safety and delivering the highest quality of surgical care through every step of the treatment process, from your first consultation through surgery and post-op. We understand that our patients and their families rely on us to deliver outstanding care under the safest possible conditions.

We are constantly reviewing and improving procedures, implementing best practices, and learning from industry leading authorities on patient care and safety. Promoting a culture of safety and continuous quality improvement helps ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.

Robotic surgery with the da Vinci Surgical System allows doctors to perform many types of complex procedures with more precision, flexibility and control than is possible with conventional techniques.

Robotic surgery uses the same concepts as laparoscopic surgery allowing the procedures to be performed through tiny incisions.   However robotic surgery can allow for enhanced precision, flexibility and control during the operation.  Using robotic surgery, surgeons can perform delicate and complex procedures that may have been difficult or impossible with other methods.
