Sinusitis
Medical Weight Loss
Men are more prone to developing esophageal cancer and smoking, heaving drinking and a diagnosis of Barrett’s Esophagus can all put one at greater risk of esophageal cancer. Typically, this type of cancer does not show any signs or symptoms in the early stages, but as it progresses painful or difficulty swallowing, coughing, hoarseness, and weight loss are common symptoms. Our surgeons are experts in treating esophageal cancer and provides both laparoscopic and robotic minimally invasive surgical options.
Snoring
Conditions in the throat such as enlarged tonsils can lead to chronic infections, obstructed or narrow airways or snoring. Snoring and sleep apnea affect millions of people each year. Our surgeons are experts in evaluating and treating these conditions. We offer the new “Inspire” implant for sleep apnea that that enlarges the airway by stimulating the nerve to the tongue to get patients to breathe. This advancement eliminates the need for a CPAP machine. Leaving individuals sleeping better without the need for a mask and a hose.
Ear Infections
Constipation
Diarrhea

Colon Cancer
Screening Colonoscopies – The surgeons at SurgOne collectively perform thousands of colonoscopies. Screening colonoscopies are the recommended for men and women every 10 years, starting at age 45 if they a have no risk factors for colon cancer. Colonoscopies are the most effective way to find colon and rectal cancer early. When found early, cancerous polyps can often be removed endoscopically.
Endoscopy
Our surgeons completed their training in general surgery and then went on to highly focused and specialized fellowship training in minimally invasive esophageal and stomach surgery. The team at SurgOne is also trained in advanced interventional endoscopy techniques that allow them to diagnose, medically manage or surgically repair conditions of the esophagus and stomach. This allows patients to go to just one office for all their diagnostic and therapeutic care. Our team sees a high volume of these conditions, which is important because data shows that when these specialized surgeries are done by an expert with a lot of experience, the outcomes are significantly better. Our surgeons track their outcomes closely and publish them nationally. They are also committed to training the next generation of foregut surgeons through an accredited fellowship program.

Chemotherapy
Cancer is typically treated by multiple modalities and surgery is an important part of the treatment plan. Surgical Oncology is a unique medical specialty because as advances have been made in biology, pathophysiology, diagnostics, and staging of malignant tumors have taken place – the surgeon functions within a multi-disciplinary team of cancer specialists. They are partners with both the medical oncologists and radiation oncologists. All the surgical oncologists at SurgOne participate in multi- disciplinary clinics where a team comes together to formulate a comprehensive plan for additional treatment that may include chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or ablative therapy.

General Surgery
Our surgeons commit to the highest quality of surgical care, incorporating the most advanced and appropriate surgical services available. We value expertise and technological innovation within safe boundaries.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Fundoplication – a minimally invasive surgery to restore the anti-reflux valve between the stomach and esophagus using your own stomach tissue.
Robotic Surgery
Colorectal surgeons are experts in the reconstruction of the colon, rectum, and anus. They offer advanced minimally invasive techniques – laparoscopic, robotic surgery and trans anal endoscopic microsurgery, that can eliminate the need for more invasive and open abdominal surgery. These advanced techniques mean less post-operative pain and quicker return to normal life.
Otolaryngology
Laryngology is a special field within otolaryngology that is focused specifically on the larynx. Laryngologists are specialists who diagnose and treat conditions that affect the vocal cords, the trachea and swallowing conditions. Using images, biopsies and endoscopic cameras or a video stroboscope, our team is specially qualified to diagnose and treat the following conditions...
Reconstructive Surgery
Skin Cancer – Surgery is a common treatment for skin cancer. Our surgeons remove many types of skin cancers and lesions – basal call and squamous cell cancers and melanoma, are all best treated by removing the cancer and some of the surrounding healthy tissue. They also often biopsy a sentinel lymph node to see if the cancer has spread locally. Our team can provide reconstructive surgery and may also partner with a plastic surgeon for reconstruction based on the location of the tumor.

Plastic Surgeons

Breast Reconstruction
Reconstruction – Our team works closely with the plastic surgeons who perform breast reconstruction and at times it may be possible to perform direct-to-implant reconstruction at the same time as the initial surgery. Our team will meet with the patient and offer options that best aligns with each individual’s unique goals
Breast Surgery
Our team of breast surgeons is dedicated entirely to breast surgery. Breast Surgical Oncologists treat benign conditions and are experts in treating breast cancer.
Laparoscopic Surgery

Skin Cancer
When growths develop in the soft tissue of the skin as a tumor or cyst, often they are not painful and grow slowly over time. General surgeons are skilled at removing both benign and malignant growths and different types of skin cancer.
Cyst
Ulcer
General surgeons care for a broad spectrum of conditions and they are specialists in understanding and assessing the need for surgery. At SurgOne our team specializes in offering minimally invasive surgical approaches – laparoscopic or robotic surgery – for most surgical procedures. A general surgeon has a broad base of knowledge, and they care for a variety of conditions that range in complexity from removing a soft tissue mass to larger cases like colectomies, to remove sections of the intestine, to complex hernia repairs. They are also experienced in treating trauma, such as an appendectomy, a small bowel obstruction or a gastric ulcer. They specialize in treating conditions of the...
Lesions
Surgery of the liver, bile ducts, gallbladder and pancreas are known as hepatobiliary surgery. This is a very specialized type of surgery and surgeons who perform these surgeries work closely with gastroenterologists, radiologists, and oncologists. They treat conditions such as gallstones, gallbladder inflammation or cancer, pancreatic masses, pancreatitis, bile duct cancer, injury, strictures and perform liver surgery for both benign or malignant tumors or lesions.
