'When a patient faces the twin crises of having a disease and needing an operation, it is the surgeon’s responsibility to alleviate the patient’s concerns by demonstrating that the surgical team has the competence and confidence to handle the problem. I believe in a straightforward, optimistic attitude that informs the patient of the problems and conveys that the patient will get the best care possible.' *

What is General Surgery?
General surgery can be performed on almost any area of the body. A general surgeon is a physician who performs surgery and provides preoperative, operative, and postoperative care to surgical patients. This surgeon can treat diseases, injuries or deformities by surgery or minimally invasive techniques, such as endoscopy, where a tiny scope is used to view internal organs or structures. The endoscope can be used during operating procedures, or before surgery, to diagnose, assess and treat problem areas.
