Digestive Disorder Surgery

Issues with your digestive system can disrupt your daily life. Surgery from Adventist Health can help you find relief and get back in the swing of things.

You benefit from highly skilled surgeons who use leading therapies to help you get relief. From appendicitis to diverticulitis, we deliver timely, expert care.

Expert surgical care for digestive disorders

Surgery can be an important step toward recovering from digestive disorders. If you need surgery for a problem like diverticulitis or gallbladder attacks, our team is here for you with care close to home. Our nurses, physicians, caring office staff and other specialists also put every effort into making your experience a positive one.

We offer minimally invasive techniques that are not widely available outside of urban settings. Treatments may include laparoscopic or robotic surgery, which require small incisions, so you can heal quickly.

Surgeons take time to get to know you and your medical needs. We only recommend a procedure if we know you’ll benefit from it. We can treat some conditions, like hemorrhoids, during in-office procedures.

Multidisciplinary care

General surgeons often work with digestive health specialists to carefully plan your procedure. We are in regular communication to ensure you receive the services that best meet your needs.

What to expect from digestive disorder surgery

Before your procedure, we provide all the information you need to feel prepared. The team explains the type of procedure you need and how it can help you. We also answer any questions you may have.
