In an effort to provide the best possible outcomes, we take an individualized approach to developing treatment plans that include minimally invasive surgical techniques where appropriate.

- The scope is put through one small skin incision, and surgical tools are put through other small incisions.
- Many surgeries are done using this technique.
- Pancreas, liver, gastrointestinal and endocrine surgery
- Head and neck surgery:
- Our surgeons perform head and neck surgeries including thyroid, parathyroid and parotid.
- Surgery can be an effective treatment for hyperthyroidism, malignant nodules or those that grow or cause symptoms
We are seeking a skilled Physician Assistant to join our General Surgery team in Irving.
