General Surgery

A successful surgery at SMH and SMHE is about more than just the procedure. It’s also about keeping patients comfortable — before, during and after.   

Our highly qualified general surgeons are trained in everything from diagnosis to preoperative, surgical and postoperative procedures. Because they deal with a broad range of medical conditions, they undergo extensive training in many surgical techniques.

• Gallbladder

What Is the Recovery Process Like?

Our full-service surgical facility offers an outpatient rehab center, where you’ll receive the ongoing care you need to regain your mobility and independence.

SMH places a high priority on pain management and quicker recovery times. We want our patients to feel better faster. This is why we provide a team of board-certified anesthesiologists who are available 24 hours a day to help you with all of your pain management needs.
