Info

Who will be performing my surgery?

Surgery most often involves a team of physicians, consisting of "Attending" and "Resident" surgeons. Attending Surgeons have many years of surgery and are recognized as some of the best surgeons in the world. "Resident Surgeons" are also trained physicians and are learning to be surgeons by assisting the "Attending Surgeon."
