General Surgery at Emerson

Our experienced general surgeons use the latest advanced techniques for stomach, breast, colorectal, head, and neck procedures. They specialize in minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, which requires smaller incisions than traditional methods. This approach results in less pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery. In fact, 75% of surgeries at Emerson are outpatient, allowing patients to go home the same day.
