Forest Hills Hospital's Department of General Surgery provides many services to our patients. If you or a family member is referred for surgical services, we are here to help. The list below includes just some of the reasons you may need surgery. As a facility of the 21st century, we provide state-of-the-art care for all of our patients. Many of the procedures are now performed through small puncture wounds rather than ones that can create large scars. Minimally invasive techniques are routinely used for problems ranging from hernia repair to gall bladder removal. Our physicians are experts in their procedures and have a broad range of skills.
