OUR PHYSICIANS

Our physicians and staff are dedicated to providing you with the highest quality surgical services available.

The six surgeons in our practice have each completed extensive surgical training in Texas and each is board certified by the American Board of Surgery. This certification means that they possess the special expertise and technical skills required to perform appropriate operations as smoothly and efficiently as possible.
Although you will work with one surgeon, both in the office and in the hospital, many times a team approach is needed, which may involve an additional surgeon or certified first assist during surgery to help in your recovery. All of our surgeons continue their education and training in various areas of special interest in an effort to provide the latest surgical techniques available.
