Welcome to the Surgery Department!
We provide comprehensive general surgery services and specialty skills in thoracic, vascular, colorectal, breast, endocrine and oncologic surgery. All surgeons are qualified in their fields and have the training and experience to care for a wide variety of surgical problems.
The mission of the Department of Surgery is to provide superior, quality care to all members that are referred to our department in a timely, efficient and consistently compassionate manner.
HOW TO GET CARE
New patients are seen by appointment, as requested by your personal or referring physician or nurse practitioner. Your first visit to our department generally will involve only an evaluation and discussion. If you would benefit from a surgical procedure, it will be scheduled for a later date.
Please note: Appointments are by referral only.
OUR COMMITMENT
- We will explain your diagnosis in clear, understandable terms.
- We will explain the options for treatment, surgical and non-surgical, and recommend a treatment in your best interest.
- If an operation is required, we will inform you of what to expect before, during and after the procedure and arrange for any other needed specialty consultations.
- We will provide you with a direct phone number to our office staff, so your questions can easily be answered.
- We will provide you with opportunity to evaluate the care and service you received from us.
- All members of our team - receptionists, surgery schedulers, appointment staff, medical assistants, licensed vocational nurses, registered nurses, nurse practitioners and surgeons - are dedicated to providing you with quality surgical care tailored to the specific needs of your case.

An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
