The providers in the Christie Clinic Department of General Surgery diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions that require surgical care in both children and adults. In addition to performing surgical procedures, our surgeons evaluate symptoms, perform diagnostic testing and help patients understand whether surgery is the most appropriate treatment option. We work closely with primary care providers and specialists to ensure every patient receives coordinated, personalized care from diagnosis through recovery.
Our surgeons are highly trained in both traditional and minimally invasive surgical techniques, including laparoscopic surgery. These advanced approaches often result in smaller incisions, less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays and faster recovery times whenever appropriate.
Patients are typically referred to a Christie Clinic general surgeon by their primary care provider or another specialist for evaluation and treatment of a variety of conditions affecting the abdomen, digestive system, skin, soft tissues and breasts. Whether you need a routine procedure or more complex surgical care, our team is committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based treatment with your safety and comfort as our highest priorities.
At Christie Clinic, we understand that the decision to undergo surgery can feel overwhelming. Our surgeons take the time to listen to your concerns, explain your diagnosis and treatment options, answer your questions and develop a care plan tailored to your individual needs. From your initial consultation through recovery, our team is dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality surgical care close to home.
