Surgical offerings include routine elective procedures, mass and tumor removal, soft tissue surgeries such as foreign body removal, wound repair, cystotomy, gastrointestinal procedures, and dental surgery. The practice is currently in a smaller space but has plans to expand later this year to enhance the facility and create additional room for patient care.
