General Practitioners

• Primary Care
  If you have, or suspect you may have, an illness or condition that you believe requires medical attention, we recommend you call your primary care physician.
• Emergency Care
  When you get emergency care or get treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, you are protected from surprise billing or balance billing.

Endocrinologist

• Thyroid

Radiologist

• Radiology
  When you get services from an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, certain providers may be out-of-network. In these cases, the most those providers may bill you is your plan’s in-network cost-sharing amount. This applies to emergency medicine, anesthesia, pathology, radiology, laboratory, neonatology, assistant surgeon, hospitalist, or intensivist services. These providers can’t balance bill you and may not ask you to give up your protections not to be balance billed.

Surgeons

• General Surgery
  General Surgery (distinctly different from General Practice) is the term used to identify surgeons who perform a wide range of surgical procedures in the head and neck, abdomen, and breast. Such operations would include intestinal, biliary (gall bladder), endocrine (thyroid for example), and hernia repair. All of our surgeons perform laparoscopic surgery procedures including hernia repair, gall bladder removal, acid-reflux procedures as well as the many other commonly used laparoscopic procedures.
• Vascular Surgery
  Vascular surgery is the repair of blocked, enlarged, or otherwise diseased or damaged blood vessels, Aneurysms of the aorta as well as blockages of the arteries in the neck, abdomen, or legs are examples. In addition, our physicians supervise the Noninvasive Vascular Laboratory at St. Francis Hospital. The purpose of this facility is to diagnose partial or complete arterial blockages and other vascular problems without the use of needles or the injection of dye.
• Robotic Surgery
  Several of our surgeons have received additional training in robotic surgery using the da Vinci robot. This exciting technology allows extreme precision and unmatched visualization in surgery to remove the gallbladder. Some patients may be candidates for gallbladder removal using only a single small incision in the belly button. This technique can result in less pain and an improved cosmetic result. In the near future we plan to expand the use of this technology to include surgery for reflux, hernia, and intestine.
