What is general surgery?

General surgeons diagnose and treat a broad range of conditions of the abdomen, digestive tract, skin, and soft tissue. At Mountain View Surgical that includes hernia repair, gallbladder surgery, appendectomy, colon and bowel surgery, anti-reflux (fundoplication) surgery, and the removal of skin and soft-tissue lesions — along with breast, endocrine, and cancer surgery through our specialty teams. Whenever it’s appropriate, our surgeons use minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic techniques, which generally mean smaller incisions, less pain, and a quicker return to normal life than traditional open surgery.

Am I a candidate, and what should I expect?

You may be a candidate if:

You’ve been referred to a surgeon by your primary-care or specialist physician
You have a hernia, gallbladder disease, a soft-tissue mass, or a digestive-tract problem
You want a board-certified surgeon to evaluate whether an operation is right for you

What to expect:

A thorough consultation, exam, and review of any imaging or referral notes
A clear explanation of your options — including whether surgery is truly needed
A minimally invasive approach whenever it’s the right fit for your condition

Recovery:

Recovery depends on the procedure — many are outpatient with a return to activity in days to weeks
A clear, written after-care plan and direct access to your surgical team
Follow-up visits to confirm you’re healing as expected

Frequently asked questions

What does a general surgeon treat?
General surgeons handle a wide range of abdominal and soft-tissue conditions — hernias, the gallbladder, appendix, colon and bowel, reflux, and skin or soft-tissue masses — as well as breast, endocrine, and cancer surgery through our specialty teams.

Do I need a referral to see a surgeon?
Many patients are referred by their primary-care doctor, but you don’t always need a referral to schedule a consultation. Your insurance plan may have its own requirements — our office can help you check.

Not always. A big part of a surgeon’s job is deciding whether an operation is truly the best option. We’ll walk you through the alternatives and recommend surgery only when it’s the right choice for you.
