Another busy day in the OR, with an incredible lineup of cases:

✔️ SP Robotic Cholecystectomy
✔️ SP Robotic Inguinal Hernia Repair x2
✔️ EGD
✔️ Robotic Diagnostic Laparotomy

But behind every successful case is an incredible team. From the anesthesia team to the nurses, surgical techs, and everyone working behind the scenes—your dedication, teamwork, and commitment to our patients never go unnoticed.
It takes every member of the team working together to provide the level of care that our patients deserve.

Proud of this team. Grateful for each of you👍🏼
