Why Choose Minimally Invasive Surgery

Minimally invasive surgical techniques offer significant advantages over traditional open surgeries, including:

  • Lower risk of infection and complications. Smaller incisions mean less opportunity for undesirable microorganisms to enter your body.
  • Less post-operative pain and scarring. Smaller incisions also mean less pain and swelling after the operation and often a better aesthetic result as well.
  • More convenient. Most minimally invasive procedures can be performed out-patient in our office. You won’t have to worry about a hospital stay, eating after midnight the night before, or many of the inconveniences related to most other surgeries.
  • Faster treatment. In some cases, you’re out the door just 45 minutes after your procedure, and most people can return to work and other normal activities faster than with traditional surgery.
  • Lower cost. The majority of minimally invasive surgical procedures can be done in our in office surgical room rather than making a trip to the hospital. This could save you thousands of dollars of hospital and anesthesia charges.

Usually, you have to choose between quality and price. It’s not often that a medical procedure can offer both a lower cost and better results than the alternative, but that is frequently the case with minimally invasive surgery. Our goal is always to provide every patient who walks through our door with the relief they need as quickly and affordably as possible, which is why we’re thrilled to be able to offer this procedure for those who qualify.
