鈥淕eneral surgery鈥 means operations that don鈥檛 involve the brain, bones or heart. General surgeons remove tumors and correct problems babies are born with. They also perform emergency surgeries for conditions like appendicitis or for injuries.
You鈥檝e probably heard the phrase, 鈥渇rom routine to complex.鈥 But we know that trusting your child to a surgeon鈥檚 care is always hard, no matter how routine.聽聽
We do everything we can to keep your child safe. We use the best technology and techniques that cause the least discomfort and fastest healing. And we always stay focused on preventing infections.聽
