Aspirus Keweenaw Hospital and Clinics proudly welcomes board-certified General Surgeon Rachel Laszko, MD, to its excellent surgical services team. Dr. Laszko joins Dr. Wendy Frye in delivering a higher level of comprehensive surgical care for patients of all ages in the Keweenaw area. Dr. Laszko is now seeing patients in Houghton and Laurium.
Dr. Laszko specializes in all aspects of general surgery. Her special interests include gastric reflux surgery, bowel surgery, hernia repairs and endoscopies.
She completed her general surgery residency at Spectrum Health in Grand Rapids, Mich., and earned her doctorate from Wayne State University in Detroit, Mich. Prior to joining Aspirus Health, Dr. Laszko was a general surgeon at MidMichigan Health in West Branch, Mich.
