Top General Surgeon in Cypress and The Woodlands, TX

General surgeons are trained to perform surgical care for patients with a wide range of diseases, conditions, traumas, and injuries. They first receive their bachelor’s degree and then a four-year medical degree. Before receiving their board certification, they must complete five years of training in a hands-on residency program. Every physician at Texas Colon and Pilonidal Clinic is board-certified and many have received specialized training after residency.

A general surgeon specializes in the assessment, diagnosis, and surgical treatment of conditions that affect the digestive tract, abdomen, soft tissue, endocrine system, and more. They have a broad knowledge of many different diseases and can work with other surgical specialists to provide you with the best surgical team possible. They have extensive knowledge of general surgical procedures, blood flow processes, wounds, body structures, body functions, immune system processes, and infections.

General surgeons have the education and experience to perform many different procedures including appendectomy surgery, gallbladder removal, esophageal surgery, colon surgery, hernia repair, and more. Texas Colon and Pilonidal Clinic has board-certified general surgeons and colorectal specialists. Our general surgeons are responsible for treating benign gallbladder disease, appendicitis, bowel obstruction, and abdominal wall hernia.

Reasons to see a General Surgeon:
There are three main reasons to seek care from a general surgeon:

Doctor Referral
Your primary care physician may advise you to see a general surgeon if you’re displaying symptoms of a condition that requires surgery. They may also recommend you to a general surgeon if current treatments for a previously diagnosed condition aren’t working effectively.

Elective Procedure Day
Another common reason to see a general surgeon is for an elective surgery that has been scheduled in advance. This is common for procedures such as hemorrhoidectomies and hernia repairs.
