surgery,” there is certainly nothing general
about the skill and expertise demonstrated by
the surgeons at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center.
Our general surgeons are considered leaders in
their field and pioneers in the specialty of minimally
invasive and laparoscopic surgery. In fact,
a number of our general surgeons at Penn Presbyterian
Medical Center were recently recognized as the
best in the area by Philadelphia Magazine’s

base enables them to provide state-of-the-art
techniques through traditional surgery or minimally
invasive procedures. Our team of general surgeons
distinguish themselves in the diagnosis and treatment
of numerous diseases and conditions, including
colorectal and gastrointestinal diseases.
The general surgery team of physicians, nurses
