FAQs

Do I need a referral to see a general surgeon?

It depends on your insurance. For example, PPOs often allow direct booking, while HMOs may need a referral. Our staff can help confirm your requirements.

How do I know if my abdominal pain is an emergency, like appendicitis?

Appendicitis usually begins with pain near the belly button that shifts to the lower right side, often with fever, loss of appetite, and tenderness.

How long is the recovery time for a hernia repair?

Recovery depends on the hernia type and the surgery method. With minimally invasive techniques, most patients may resume light activities or desk work in 3–5 days.
