Robotic Surgery

Our robotic-assisted surgical systems enable precise, less invasive procedures with faster recovery times. This technology benefits complex cases requiring enhanced dexterity and visualization. Patients experience reduced pain, shorter hospital stays, and improved outcomes compared to traditional open surgery.

Vascular Surgery

We diagnose and treat arterial and venous conditions using advanced techniques for aneurysms, blockages, and varicose veins. Our board-certified surgeons employ both open and endovascular approaches tailored to individual patient needs. Treatment plans emphasize long-term vascular health and complication prevention.

Cancer Surgery

Our surgical oncologists specialize in tumor removal with clear margins while preserving function and quality of life. We collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to develop comprehensive cancer treatment strategies. Advanced techniques minimize tissue damage and optimize recovery for complex malignancies.

Minimally Invasive Surgery

We utilize small incisions and specialized instruments for procedures like gallbladder removal and hernia repair. This approach reduces scarring, infection risk, and recovery time compared to traditional methods. Our surgeons maintain expertise in the latest MIS technologies and applications.

Wound Care

Our comprehensive wound healing program addresses non-healing surgical incisions and diabetic ulcers through advanced therapies. We employ negative pressure wound therapy, bioengineered tissues, and hyperbaric oxygen treatments. Individualized care plans target underlying conditions impeding normal healing processes.

Dr Ranzinger and his team were awesome. I walked in Monday I'd had a hernia for 8 years and it had traveled across the lower part of my stomach, I was in so much pain Dr Ranzinger saw the pain that I was in, and immediately set me up for surgery the next day. The surgery went off without a hitch and now 5 hours after the surgery, and while it's true I'm in pain I'm not in nearly the pain I could have been.

I could not have asked for a better team, and I could not recommend a better team call Greig surgical, let them look at you soon enough so that you don't have to go through the pain I did. A cash deposit is required however it's well worth it.

Dr. Dew is absolutely in arrogant man. He does not want to listen to the patient. He lacks compassion. He is very cold and not at all personable. He would rather argue and the little instead of trying to sympathize or understand where someone is coming from. I definitely do not recommend him nor this business that tolerates the way he handles people.

They go out of their way to help a patient out. I drive over a hour each way and it's worth the drive

Two triple hernia surgeries later im so crippled up that its difficult to even walk! Finally found a surgeon in Carmel to remove mesh. He said mesh wasn't put in correctly the first time and these people slapped another layer on top of it. These people also said it was my imagination and the pain would get better-ive been on disability for almost 8 years now! BEWARE is all I can say.
