Our Team

Our unique multidisciplinary team brings hernia surgeons together with reconstructive plastic surgeons for specialized treatment and follow-up. The result is relief for our patients, with minimal post-op discomfort and a low rate of hernia recurrence. Our team also includes weight loss specialists who guide patients through surgical and non-surgical treatments. This is important, because having a reasonable weight contributes to the success of hernia repair.

Our administrative staff will welcome you to your appointments and make sure that you are seen promptly.
