• Medical Weight Loss
  Sometimes weight can be regained after weight loss surgery, and the stomach can stretch out. It is possible to reduce the size of the stomach again, using a procedure call a “pouch reduction.” This can restore the feeling of fullness, and encourage patients to eat smaller meals again. The surgeon will go into the stomach endoscopically, tightening the stomach with sutures.
• Stroke Rehabilitation
  In rehabilitation, a team of healthcare professionals with expertise in stroke care help people achieve their highest level of independent functioning for Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). ADLs include basic tasks such as walking, dressing, swallowing, and talking. It also includes behavioral and thinking skills necessary for independent living and socialization. The rehabilitation team works together on goals and meets regularly to monitor a person’s progress.

  Heart tests will help your doctor determine if an underlying heart condition caused your stroke. An electrocardiogram (EKG) assesses the electrical activity of the heart. It can identify if a heart attack has occurred, what part of the heart is damaged, irregular heartbeats, and if there is a lack of blood and oxygen in the heart. The test is simple to conduct. Sticky patches attached to electrodes are placed on your skin. The electrodes transmit records to a machine for your doctor to interpret.

This test is also called an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) or a gastroscopy. An endoscope is a long thin tube with a light and a viewing instrument that sends images to monitor.

• Vasectomy
  The vasectomy is typically performed in-office, using one small incision made in the center of the scrotum. The vas deferens is a small tube that carries the sperm from the testicle to the ejaculatory ducts. Ordinarily, there is one tube connected to each testicle. During a vasectomy, part of each tube is removed and the open ends are clipped to interrupt the flow of sperm. An in-office vasectomy will take about 20 minutes.

  Laparoscopy, also known as diagnostic laparoscopy, is a surgical procedure used to examine the organs inside the abdomen. It is a minimally invasive procedure, where an instrument called a laparoscope is used, to look inside the abdominal organs. A laparoscope is a long, thin tube with a high-intensity light and a high-resolution camera. The laparoscope in inserted in an incision made in the abdominal wall. As it moves along, the camera sends images to a video monitor. Laparoscopy allows your doctor to see inside your body in real time, without open surgery. Your doctor also can obtain biopsy samples during this procedure.

Plastic Surgeons

• Breast Reduction
• Breast Reconstruction
  The goal of breast reconstruction is to restore one or both breasts to near normal shape, appearance, symmetry, and size following mastectomy, lumpectomy or other trauma. Breast reconstruction surgery also involves recreating the breast form following its removal due to cancer. The creation of a long-lasting, symmetrical, and beautiful breast helps restore confidence, femininity, and self-esteem in women following breast cancer treatment.
• Plastic Surgery
  Those who have excess fat or sagging skin in the abdominal area due to weight loss, and other reasons, are candidates for a lipectomy. This procedure gets rid of adipose tissue (stored energy in the form of fat), and excess fat, to make the abdominal wall firm, and less flabby. This procedure may be combined with plastic surgery afterwards.
• Abdominoplasty
  Panniculectomy is a body contouring surgical procedure that removes hanging fat and skin, called the pannus. This procedure is typically done to someone after massive weight loss. It may be performed as a standalone procedure or combined with a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty).

• Laparoscopic Surgery
  Some mild forms of appendicitis may be treated with antibiotics, but for most people, appendicitis is treated with surgery to remove the appendix. You may receive traditional open surgery or laparoscopic surgery. Open surgery uses a larger incision and usually requires a longer recovery time than laparoscopic surgery.
• Body Contouring
• Bariatric Surgery
  Losing weight and keeping it off is no easy task, and diet programs are not always reliable. More than 35 percent of adults in the United States are obese. Statistics show that obesity often contributes to other health problems. Excess weight and obesity have been linked to health issues such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Excess weight strains almost every organ in the body, and is no surprise that it can affect arthritic joints as well. When weight issues become a health hazard, bariatric surgery is a realistic option for helping lose and control your weight for a healthier lifestyle.
