Procedures​

       All our surgeons are board-certified and licensed to practice General Surgery and Vascular Surgery (Dr. Lo) by the Medical Board of California. Our scope of practice is broad and the surgeries below are only a sample of some common procedures that we perform. Many general surgery procedures are performed with small 5-10 mm incisions known as laparoscopic surgery. Endovascular surgery procedures are performed with small incisions also. Some procedures are performed as single site surgery through a 3-4 cm incision, and others are performed using the DaVinci robot. Please call us to inquire about other services that we offer that are not listed below.
