We treat all hernias: groin (inguinal and femoral), umbilical, and incisional.  We use both the open and the less invasive laparoscopic techniques.

Virtually all gallbladder removals (cholecystectomies) are performed as an outpatient using minimally invasive laparoscopy.

Conditions such as diverticulitis, colon polyps, colorectal cancers, hemorrhoids, anal fissures, and fistulas may all require surgical interventions.  Fortunately most colon resections are now accomplished with laparoscopy

Diseases of the thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal glands sometimes require surgery.  We employ in office ultrasound for thyroid nodule evaluation and biopsy.

We remove squamous cell and basal cell skin cancers.  We also perform wide excisions, and sentinel lymph node biopsies for melanomas.

We evaluate and treat breast conditions ranging from benign to cancer by employing in office ultrasound, minimally invasive biopsies, stereotactic biopsies, sentinel lymph node biopsy, lumpectomy, and mastectomy

Some patients with GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), hiatal hernia, or paraesophageal hernia will benefit from  surgery—fundoplication.  This surgery is now done laparoscopically.
