What types of surgery does Surgical Associates, PC perform?

We provide general, bariatric (weight loss), colorectal, breast, endocrine, and foregut surgery. Our surgeons treat both routine and complex conditions using minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic-assisted techniques whenever possible.

Do you offer robotic or minimally invasive surgery?

Yes. Many procedures are performed through small 1–2 cm incisions using laparoscopic or robotic techniques, which often result in less pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came to the surgical associates after being in immense pain from my gallbladder, the folks at surgical associates took such good care of me. My surgeon Dr. Hung was the first person to believe my pain after days going to the ER and being sent home with some pain meds. He got me scheduled that same day and did a phenomenal job removing my gallbladder, I’ve had no pain since! He was very kind, empathetic, and reassuring to me and my family.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Krier is an outstanding surgeon!  She thoroughly explained the process prior to my surgery and was caring and supportive following the procedure. I especially appreciated her friendly and down-to-earth bedside manners. I never felt that she was rushing away as you see with some doctors.
