Surgical Care
A team of specialists provide elective surgical services and procedures, including hernia repair, laparoscopic gallbladder surgery, biopsies and colonoscopies, plus many more.
A new spacious and attractive operating suite offers patients a comfortable environment in which to have their surgery done. Friendly and competent operating room staff assist the surgeon in delivering professional and compassionate care before, during, and after procedures. Patients appreciate the convenience of receiving these services close to home and often being cared for by familiar faces.
Outpatient Surgery
Patients can be confident of the care given by competent, qualified staff. Outpatient Surgical Anesthesia is provided by our outstanding Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs).
