About Our Doctors

Our practice consists of several surgeons. They work as a team and are interchangeable. The doctors communicate several times a day on patient status, and they are familiar with all current cases. It is possible one of the other doctors may see you after your surgery, as our physicians split up hospital rounds according to who is at that particular hospital at the time. The same doctor coverage system is used for evenings and weekends. We are available for emergencies around the clock, but only one doctor is on call at a time.
