Skilled in performing a wide array of inpatient and outpatient procedures ranging from routine to the most complex of cases, our surgeons have in-depth experience using minimally-invasive techniques that offer patients faster recoveries and better outcomes.

With minimally invasive surgery, the surgeon makes a few small incisions or uses one of the body’s natural openings to insert long tubes, called canulas, from which small instruments are inserted to perform the surgery.

Compared to traditional surgery where the incision is large, they result in more rapid recovery and a faster return to normal living. Many of the procedures can be performed on an outpatient basis or require only a one-day stay.
