FAQ’s
What kind of conditions do general surgeons treat?
General surgeons can treat many parts of your body including gallbladder disease, hernias, appendicitis, thyroid problems, and growths or lumps under the skin. They also treat emergency conditions like severe infections or trauma.
How do I know if I need a general surgeon?
A doctor will often recommend general surgery when other treatments have not helped or when a condition is serious enough that it will not get better on its own. A general surgeon may be needed if you have an issue like ongoing pain from gallstones or you have a hernia that gets larger or painful.
What will I need to bring to my first general surgery appointment?
You should bring your photo ID, insurance card, a list of your current medications, and any recent test results like lab work or imaging.
How quickly can general surgery fix a painful hernia or blocked appendix?
Some conditions, like a blocked appendix or a hernia that is strangulated, require immediate emergency surgery. Other surgeries can be planned, and their timing will depend on your health, lab results, and when time is available in the surgical facility. Your surgeon can escalate the timing if necessary.
Will the general surgeon talk with my regular doctor or other specialists before my surgery?
Yes. General surgeons often collaborate with the other doctors who are actively involved in your medical care. This ensures that you get the most complete and coordinated care.
