Our goal at Mary Washington General Surgery is to provide the highest-quality
surgical care delivered with courtesy, compassion, and attention to each
unique need. Patients are treated with a team-based approach which includes
a group of experts from multiple medical specialties. Our board-certified
general surgeons treat patients before, during, and after their surgeries.
Minimally invasive procedures are used whenever possible to minimize the
impact of surgery and reduce recovery time.
Who Are the American College of Surgeons?
The
American College of Surgeons (ACS) is the governing body for surgeons and provides prospective patients
with the information they need to objectively evaluate a physician.
ACS, the largest international organization of surgeons in the world, recommends
patients choose surgeons who meet the following criteria:
Board certification in general surgery and/or surgical critical care
Hospital or ambulatory center accreditation
Fellowship in the American College of Surgeons (FACS). The American College
of Surgeons admits to its Fellowship only those surgeons whose professional
activity is devoted to surgical practice and who agree without compromise
to practice by the professional and ethical standards of the College.
Our general surgeons are experienced in minimally invasive, laparoscopic
surgery, and are committed to timely evaluations and treatment, as well
as compassionate, well-communicated care for all of our patients.
