At the NorthShore University HealthSystem GI & General Surgery department in Evanston, Glenview, Highland Park, and Skokie, Illinois, Chicagoland patients experience the best of care from world-class surgeons working as a team to take advantage of each doctor’s specialties. The gastrointestinal and general surgery providers offer a collaborative approach to health care that emphasizes minimally invasive, cutting-edge techniques.
The NorthShore surgeons pride themselves on using the most up-to-date and innovative surgical procedures, including minimally invasive and incision-less surgery as an alternative to open surgery. The surgeons in the GI & General Surgery department are highly trained and extremely skilled in treating a broad range of disorders and diseases for many areas of the body.
The surgeons perform endoscopic and laparoscopic techniques not often found in other hospitals in Illinois or the Midwest. Using thin surgical instruments with small cameras allows the expert surgical team to operate with minimal damage to surrounding areas and faster recovery time than is possible with open surgery.
The techniques and procedures benefit patients with colon cancer, diseases of the esophagus, gallstone disease, and morbid obesity. In addition to state-of-the-art procedures and techniques, the NorthShore University HealthSystem participates in clinical research trials for the latest developments in hernia repair and endoscopic suturing, such as the use of robotic surgery.
The GI & General Surgery team at NorthShore University HealthSystem believe in giving their patients the best possible care to ensure optimal quality of life. Schedule a consultation online or by phone today to get started.
