General Surgery

Colonoscopies are essential for the early detection of colorectal issues, including cancer, polyps, and other abnormalities. The procedure involves using a flexible camera to examine the colon and rectum. It’s recommended for individuals over the age of 50 or those with a family history of colorectal cancer.

Colonoscopies are typically performed as a preventative measure and can help detect problems before they become serious. If you’re due for a colonoscopy, or have concerns about your digestive health, our compassionate team is here to provide a comfortable experience.

Endoscopic surgery uses specialized instruments to access internal areas through small incisions, offering a minimally invasive approach to conditions such as reflux disease, gallbladder issues, and bowel problems. This technique allows for quicker recovery times, reduced scarring, and less postoperative discomfort. Whether you’re dealing with digestive issues, persistent heartburn, or other related concerns, endoscopic surgery can help you feel better faster with minimal disruption to your life.

Hernias occur when an internal part of the body pushes through a weakness in the muscle or surrounding tissue. Common types include inguinal, umbilical, and hiatal hernias. This condition often causes pain, especially during physical activities, and can lead to complications if left untreated.

At Capital Bariatrics, our surgeons specialize in minimally invasive hernia repairs, which offer quicker recovery times, reduced scarring, and a lower risk of recurrence. If you're dealing with a hernia or have been experiencing discomfort, don’t wait.

Gallbladder removal surgery, or cholecystectomy, is a common procedure for patients suffering from gallstones, bile duct obstructions, or inflammation of the gallbladder. Symptoms like sharp abdominal pain, bloating, or nausea are often linked to gallbladder issues and can significantly impact daily life.

Our surgeons use advanced techniques to remove the gallbladder safely, with minimal disruption to your routine. Most patients recover quickly, with little to no long-term effects. If you’ve been advised to have your gallbladder removed, or if you’re dealing with painful symptoms, we can help guide you through the process.

GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease) can be an incredibly uncomfortable condition, often resulting in heartburn, chest pain, and difficulty swallowing. When lifestyle changes and medications aren’t enough to control reflux symptoms, surgery may be the next step. Our surgeons offer advanced GERD treatments, including fundoplication, which corrects the reflux and prevents stomach acid from rising into the esophagus.

Patients often report significant relief from symptoms and an improved quality of life following surgery. If you’re tired of living with chronic reflux, we encourage you to contact us today to explore how we can help improve your health with GERD surgery.

Bowel surgery may be necessary for individuals suffering from chronic conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), diverticulitis, or bowel obstructions. These conditions can cause pain, discomfort, and complications if not properly addressed. Our surgeons specialize in minimally invasive bowel procedures, which help alleviate symptoms and improve your quality of life.

Whether you're dealing with ongoing digestive issues or require a more complex procedure, we’re here to offer a tailored solution for your needs. If you’re experiencing digestive pain or discomfort, don’t hesitate to reach out to discuss your options with our caring team.
