General Surgery

General Surgery

For many of our clients, the waits for general surgery are lengthy.  While orthopedic, oncological, cataract and coronary procedures get all the attention in the media and therefore receive the vast bulk of new infusions of cash into the system, patients who require procedures other than those listed above are the “forgotten patients” in our monopolistic healthcare system.  The pain suffered by patients awaiting a hernia repair can be just as severe (or more so) than a patient waiting for a knee replacement, but because a hernia isn’t a “targeted” ailment, they often don’t get the attention they warrant.

In the last 24 months, due to increased resources, being targeting at other types of surgery, the waiting lists for general surgery have significantly increased. Simply click on whichever procedure you are in need of on the left side of this page to learn more.
