Procedures​

       Our surgeons are licensed to practice General Surgery 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 procedures are performed with small 5-10 mm incisions known as laparoscopic surgery. 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.
