At MedStar Union Memorial Hospital, our surgical specialists share a common goal: creating a patient experience dedicated to superior quality, safety, satisfaction and the best possible outcomes. Our surgical specialists are highly trained and offer a diversity of expertise in treating diseases and disorders of the breast, colon/rectum, esophagus, lung and gastrointestinal tract, utilizing both traditional and minimally invasive procedures.
This combined level of expertise means patients benefit from high quality care from an experienced team before, during and after surgery. What's more, many of our specialists are recognized for performing complex surgical procedures not found elsewhere, including sophisticated surgery for diseases of the chest (thoracic).
Because the patient experience occurs in one central location within the hospital setting, patients are afforded full services of the entire hospital team in a supportive and comfortable environment. All of this takes place in an academic teaching environment in which our surgical specialists are training the next generation of surgeons.
If you're considering surgery or would like a second opinion, speak to one of our surgical specialists. For a physician referral, call 410-554-2266 or request an appointment.
