Surgery that heals and transforms
Surgical services
From complex surgical treatments to in-office procedures, our surgeons offer a variety of surgical specialties close to home. Recognized both regionally and nationally, our surgery team performs minimally invasive procedures, including robotic surgery, whenever possible and works with other specialists to provide you with the most advanced care available. Our surgeons are located throughout northeast and central Pennsylvania, so you don’t have to travel far to get the exceptional care you deserve:
Your surgeon will work with you to determine your best treatment plan, discussing minimally invasive surgery and robotic-assisted surgery if they are options that make sense for you. By performing these surgeries whenever possible, our surgeons ensure that patients experience quicker recovery time and often a shorter stay in the hospital.
Our surgeons are located throughout northeast and central Pennsylvania, and we work to schedule your surgery at a location convenient to you. Depending on your surgery, you may have to travel to a location farther from your home to see the right surgeon. We will discuss all options with you to make your surgery date and location as convenient as possible.
We believe in performing surgery only when absolutely necessary. If you want to explore other treatment options, your doctor or surgeon will talk to you about what is available to you.
Before your procedure, your surgeon will work with you to make sure you’re prepared so you have the best possible outcomes. Good nutrition helps reduce infection and speed healing, and we may prescribe nutritional drinks to prepare you for surgery. We also recommend drinking at least six 8-ounce glasses of water every day and exercising, if you are able to. Taking care of yourself in these ways will help to prepare you for your surgery and recovery.
Depending on your procedure, you may be able to go home the same day. If you have a more intensive surgery, we will work with you and your loved ones to develop a treatment plan to get you back to daily life as soon as possible. This may include physical therapy, diet, exercise or a combination of all three.
