How Can We Help?
Abdominal Pain
If you are experiencing abdominal pain a general surgeon can treat the
common causes - gallbladder issues, peptic ulcer conditions, hernias,
diverticulitis.
Lumps and Bumps
If you are experiencing lumps and bumps a general surgeon may be able to
help you. These conditions can be distressing as they may represent either
serious or benign problems such as lipomas that can occur throughout the
body, or nodules of the neck or breast. Surgeons can help direct the evaluation
of these abnormalities with the use of various technologies including
imaging, blood work, and biopsy, and recommend the appropriate treatment.
