Choosing the Right Surgeon
When choosing the best surgeon for treating pancreatic, liver, gallbladder, stomach, peritoneal malignancies or soft tissue sarcomas, training and expertise are paramount. Our multidisciplinary care team draws on the expertise of doctors, nurses, counselors and other support staff to provide comprehensive care. Our surgeons are among the best in the nation, performing numerous complex procedures, including Whipple procedures, liver resections and tumor excisions, each year. Your care is managed by a full team of experts who collaborate closely with each other — and with you — through every stage of treatment.
