Overview

Surgeons within the Division of General Surgery at the Jewish General Hospital uphold a multi-faceted mission: to provide compassionate, superior patient care; to offer state-of-the-art technology for a broad spectrum of primary through tertiary surgical procedures; to teach and mentor medical students, resident and fellows; and to build research programs to advance the science of medicine.

We provide surgical expertise in the fields of breast cancer, liver and pancreatic tumors, gastrointestinal and colorectal tumors, inflammatory bowel disease, anorectal disorders, swallowing disorders, abdominal wall reconstruction, as well as acute care general surgery. We have also developed a specialized focus in the field of minimally invasive surgery including endoscopy, laparoscopy, and robotic surgery.

We have 3 integrated clinical teaching units, which include attending staff, fellows, residents and medical students. We strive for an exciting environment that fosters the intellectual development of all learners in our dynamic institution.

Our challenge is to produce new scientific insights and beneficial medical innovations.
