Emergent Surgery
Emergent Surgery
Referral required
Our Emergent Surgery Service is designed to address urgent soft tissue and orthopedic cases that require attention within the next day to two weeks. Our team of board-certified surgeons works in collaboration with residents, interns, students, and licensed technicians to provide the highest level of care.
Our surgical team is supported by specialized services, including anesthesia, diagnostics, and 24-hour postoperative care, ensuring comprehensive and continuous care for your patients.
Our Emergent Surgery Service is distinct from our on-call emergency surgery service. We do not handle after-hours on-call surgeries as part of this service; these are managed by our on-call rotation schedule, involving all our surgeons.
