General surgery involves the use of operative and minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat a wide range of injuries, diseases, and conditions. While some conditions can be managed with medication alone, surgery is often the most effective option to relieve symptoms, restore function, and improve quality of life.
At the Punxsutawney Area Hospital, our general surgeons provide comprehensive care for conditions affecting many areas of the body, including the stomach, liver, intestines, appendix, breasts, thyroid and salivary glands, skin, and select arteries and veins. We also evaluate and treat hernias, gallbladder disease, soft tissue masses, and other common surgical concerns.
Our highly experienced surgical team proudly serves the Punxsutawney community with expert evaluations, personalized treatment plans, and advanced surgical techniques. Using the latest evidence-based practices and innovative approaches, we focus on patient safety, comfort, and the least invasive options whenever possible.
From your initial consultation through recovery, our compassionate, patient-centered approach ensures you receive high-quality care tailored to your individual needs. Our goal is to achieve the best possible outcomes while helping you return to your daily life as quickly and safely as possible.
