About the Division

Care & Services

Our surgeons are committed to providing the best outcomes and provide a range of general surgery services, from simpler outpatient procedures to complex surgeries at BIDMC.

Our team also specializes in advanced laparoscopic, robotic and minimally invasive techniques, which represent the forefront of surgical innovation. Our commitment to these advanced methods reflects our dedication to providing the highest standard of care while ensuring optimal outcomes for our patients.

Endocrine Surgery

Our endocrine surgery team at BIDMC offers state-of-the-art treatment options for a variety of conditions affecting the thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal glands. 

Since endocrine surgery is very precise, it should be done by experienced surgeons who have performed a high volume of these surgeries. Our endocrine surgeons, who are on the faculty of Harvard Medical School, are experts in their field, perform hundreds of endocrine surgeries each year, and are fellowship trained in endocrine surgery.

Education & Training

The Division of General Surgery educates and trains surgeons in our General Surgery Residency to ensure a continued future of innovative and compassionate caregivers.

The surgeons and investigators in the Division of General Surgery are engaged in research aimed at improving treatments for general surgery patients, and improving surgical education.
