Frequently asked questions

You should consider seeing a general surgeon if you experience symptoms such as persistent abdominal pain, digestive issues, unexplained weight loss, breast abnormalities, or have a family history of certain conditions.

During your first appointment, the general surgeon will perform a physical examination, review your medical history, and may order diagnostic tests such as imaging studies or blood tests to determine the cause of your symptoms.

Treatment options may include conservative measures such as medications or lifestyle modifications, as well as surgical interventions such as laparoscopic surgery, open surgery, or minimally invasive procedures, depending on the nature and severity of the condition.
