Welcome to the web site
of the Surgical Group of Johnson City, the surgical practice of Dr.

approach to surgical problems including cancer, colon and rectal,
abdominal wall and inguinal hernias, breast, gallbladder, thyroid and

We sub-specialize in
both the laparoscopic and open procedures for obesity surgery including
the roux-en-y gastric bypass and lap-band.
