Surgical Excellence Close to Home

Jefferson Healthcare’s board-certified surgeons bring skill and dedication to every patient they serve. From routine colonoscopy screenings and endoscopies to advanced procedures including breast and colon cancer surgery, hernia repair, and laparoscopic surgery, our surgical team delivers the highest standard of care, right here at home.

Outpatient surgery

Jefferson Healthcare Surgical Associates combine clinical excellence with a commitment to patient-centered care. Whether you need an upper endoscopy, colon screening, or a minor procedure performed in a comfortable clinic setting, you’ll be in highly skilled hands. For more complex needs, our surgeons operate in a state-of-the-art hospital surgical suite equipped to support advanced, minimally invasive techniques, so you can expect outstanding outcomes close to home.

We provide colon cancer screening and surveillance, as well as diagnostic and therapeutic colonoscopy. Our services also address issues such as swallowing problems, gastrointestinal bleeding, colon polyps, and colitis.

We offer breast biopsies, lumpectomies, mastectomies, and axillary surgeries, as well as evaluations for breast abscesses and breast cancer treatment.

Our services include biopsies, sebaceous cyst excisions, and management of pilonidal disease. We also perform wide excisions for melanoma with lymph node biopsies if indicated, and we evaluate skin lesions such as basal cell carcinoma, melanoma, and epidermoid cysts.

We provide laparoscopic colectomies, appendectomies, and cholecystectomies, along with evaluations for colon disorders, appendicitis, gallbladder disease, GERD/hiatal hernias, diverticulitis, and bowel obstructions.

Our colorectal services include hemorrhoid banding and hemorrhoidectomy, as well as evaluations for colon or rectal cancers, anal fissures, and pilonidal disease.

We offer surgical hernia repair and evaluations for ventral/incisional, umbilical, inguinal, or femoral hernias, with both open and laparoscopic repair options available.
