Advanced Surgical Care: Why Choose Us?

Highlights of our surgical services include:

  • Skilled surgeons: Many board-certified surgeons at our hospital have additional training in areas such as orthopedics, spine surgery and general surgery. We provide a range of procedures, from spinal fusions and total knee, hip and shoulder replacements to hernia repair and gynecological procedures. You can turn to us for effective, compassionate surgical care, tailored to your needs.
  • Precise surgical technology: We use the da Vinci® Xi™ robotic surgical system, which helps surgeons perform precise, minimally invasive surgeries. These procedures use small tools attached to a robotic arm, which the surgeon controls with a computer. Robotic surgery typically leads to an easier recovery. We also use the 7D Surgical System for spinal procedures, which creates images that help guide the surgeon better. And we offer high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to treat prostate cancer.
  • Collaborative culture: We work together to help you have a smooth experience, from registration through surgery and recovery. We strive to create a welcoming environment so you feel at home.

Our Surgical Specialties
