Information
monday -thursday and by special arrangement
My practice provides "primary care" in general surgery: we can see emergencies within 24 hours, urgent problems promptly. We attempt to provide basic surgical care in all the customary general surgery areas such as abdomen, hernia, gall bladder , cancer, injury, breast, thyroid, hand, skin lesions, pain with physical cause, pediatrics, work injuries,thoracic problems,GI, etc. I have 25 years experience. If we cannot handle it we will refer appropriately, we accept all insurance and self-pay (we request down payment).
