General Surgery: Did You Know?

Meet your General Surgeons: We Are Winona.

You may see them in the produce section at the grocery store, biking around the lake, or out for dinner at one of our wonderful local restaurants. They are our board-certified general surgeons, performing thousands of procedures every year along with their associate providers caring for you, too!

General surgery is the specialty focused on diagnosis and treatment of various medical conditions, involving a wide range of operations. The surgeries can include planned surgeries, such as repairing hernias or removing gallbladders, as well as emergency procedures, like removing an inflamed appendix. They also do thyroid and breast surgery related to a cancer diagnosis. And when you’re due for screening for colon cancer, or need a diagnostic colonoscopy or endoscopy, they’re your go-to experts for those procedures as well.

When you learn that you need a General Surgery procedure, it’s good to know that you’re in good hands at Winona Health! Our caregivers track and analyze data to ensure top-quality care and engage in clinical research. But most important, they are committed to providing personalized care to get each of their patients back to good health.
