Services
Our board certified surgeons specialize in the care
and treatment of benign and malignant breast disease,
all types of hernias, abdominal problems which involve
the colon, intestines, liver, pancreas, gallbladder,
appendix, thyroid, parathyroid, as well as benign and
malignant skin lesions.
A number of the surgeries performed can be done laparoscopically
which is a relatively new technique using a small video
camera, monitor and customized instruments. The procedure
is carried out through several small incisions (rather
than one large incision); the results are less pain,
a shorter stay in the hospital, quicker recovery, and
reduced risk of infection.
While the laparscopic technique might not be appropriate
for all patients, it represents one of the many innovative
approaches that our surgeons provide for Central Texans.
Our surgeons are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Our active patients can reach us at any hour through
the Travis County Medical Society medical service bureau.
