Bariatric Surgery
Our nationally accredited bariatric program offers laparoscopic gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and adjustable gastric banding procedures. We provide comprehensive preoperative evaluations with nutritional specialists and psychotherapists, ensuring patients receive personalized care plans. With over two decades of experience, our surgeons deliver effective solutions for morbid obesity, focusing on long-term patient success and improved quality of life through surgical weight management.
Robotic Surgery
We utilize advanced da Vinci robotic-assisted technology for complex procedures including colectomies and low anterior resections. This minimally invasive approach offers enhanced precision, reduced blood loss, and faster recovery times. Our surgeons leverage 3D high-definition visualization and specialized instruments to perform intricate colorectal surgeries with improved outcomes compared to traditional open techniques.
Hernia Repair
Specializing in inguinal hernia repairs using tension-free mesh techniques, our surgeons achieve recurrence rates around 2%. Most procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, allowing same-day discharge. We treat both congenital and acquired hernias, employing laparoscopic approaches when appropriate to minimize recovery time and postoperative discomfort.
Colorectal Surgery
Our team treats both benign and malignant colorectal conditions including cancer, diverticulitis, and inflammatory bowel disease. We employ minimally invasive techniques for procedures like colectomies, prioritizing sphincter preservation and functional outcomes. With extensive experience in treating complex colorectal pathologies, we provide comprehensive surgical solutions tailored to each patient's specific diagnosis.
Gallbladder Surgery
We specialize in laparoscopic gallbladder removal for symptomatic cholelithiasis and biliary dyskinesia. Most procedures are performed on an outpatient basis with same-day discharge. Our surgeons utilize minimally invasive techniques to reduce scarring and recovery time, while managing potential complications like bile duct stones or pancreatitis through comprehensive preoperative assessment and surgical planning.

Go someplace else. I need surgery and this office has canceled my appointment 2 weeks in a row acts like it's no big deal cause it's not to them they don't care that your missing work not to mention I'm not coming in for the sniffles I need a major surgery. They are rude and don't not care to even make you any other accommodations to see another provider. Im having my referral sent to UC Health instead. I will never use Centura again.

Can't say how pleased I was with my care yesterday with the staff, nurses and Drs here when I had my gallbladder removed. Kindest and caring group of professionals I've come across. I w a s nervous for the operation but they put my mind at ease. They answered all my questions and then some. I felt my health and safety was thir #1 goal and it showed. The surgy team is top notch and really warm and kind. Over all great experience. Would highly recommend.

Had to have hip surgery twice from this place it got infected with a bad staff infection right after the opperation "some how". and on top of that my knee is fractured and am having bad pain and they are not doing much to help me with that. They won't let me leave and won't help me with my pain and I believe that is b.s. and I am not happy that some of the staff want me to be in Pain I get two weak pills every four hours and it helps but not enough.
I should not have to be uncomfortable and in a lot of pain while I have to stay here in this hospital for almost a week I would leave if they would let me. I don't understand it's not that hard to help somebody in pain especially if you have the knowledge to do so. My doctor is doctor wessel and I would not recommend him.

While my experiences certainly haven't been as bad as others here, these folks have had my file for weeks. I called last week (1/16/2020 and 1/17/2020) but no mater what extension I choose I was always sent to voicemail. I finally left a voicemail which did not get returned until today (1/22/2020) where I was invited to call the number back if I wished. That's it. No update. No appointment. Just 'call us back if you want.' Poor way to treat sick people, and I would be ashamed to be a part of it. Where are your ethics?

Dr. Hamilton did surgeries on both of my parents for different reasons and a year apart. Both experiences were very good. He is knowledgeable, skillful, and approachable. He was willing to answer all questions and explained things fully. He went above and beyond what I have experienced from other doctors. His staff was also dedicated and helpful. I would recommend him 100%. I cannot comment on other doctors in that group. Office staff was always polite.

Dr. Delano is exceptional. He went over all of my medical records before my first appointment so he was able to share and discuss everything with me. He drew diagrams and answered the list of questions I had brought with me. He took his time and I never felt rushed. I consulted with two surgeons and chose Dr. Delano because I felt I could trust him. I also chose him because he does robotic laparoscopic surgeries. I like the fact that his office is in the hospital. My surgery was successful. In addition, everyone I encountered in his office is caring, professional and friendly.

If only I could give them 0 stars. I was referred to them from my former doctors office. They have had my file for 4 weeks now, insisting that I would be getting a call soon because the doctors need to look over my file first. That never happened. I called today to see what was holding them up, only to be told that they are too busy to take new patients at this time. So 4 weeks and nobody even looked at my file. 4 weeks I've been in pain waiting for them to call me. 4 weeks that I could have spent looking for a new doctor that has been wasted on this office.
And all I get from the manager of the office is "oh, sorry." Wow. great customer service. Don't go here. They don't give a damn about their patients, or anyone else for that matter. Thanks for wasting my time while I walk around in pain.
