Services
General Surgery
Our general surgery program addresses conditions of the esophagus, stomach, intestines, abdomen, hernia, and skin through precise diagnostic confirmation and corrective procedures. We serve adult patients requiring surgical intervention for digestive tract disorders, soft tissue abnormalities, and abdominal wall defects. Patients benefit from board-certified surgeons utilizing both open and minimally invasive techniques for optimal outcomes.
Robotic Surgery
We perform robotic surgery through Ascension Via Christi Hospitals and Wesley Medical Center using minimally invasive technology for complex procedures. This approach offers smaller incisions, decreased blood loss, minimal scarring, shorter hospital stays, and significantly less pain than traditional methods. Patients experience faster recovery measured in days instead of weeks across multiple surgical specialties.

From the first time I met her she has the bed side manner of making you feel comfortable not scared. She's right to the point of your problem and tells you how she's gonna fix it. Her humor is contagious also. She's God's gift from heaven to us. I trust her to operate on me in the next few weeks. Thank you Dr. Hunt.

Dr. Hunt and the team are wonderful. She gave great advice, and didn't try to push me to do a surgery that I didn't need at the time. I'm thankful Dr. Hunt wasn't looking to just cut into me. Instead, she had my health as her first and highest priority. Thank you Dr. Hunt and team!

I was referred by my PCP for a mole that looked most suspicious for melanoma. Its location, was also very concerning, should it be malignant. Dr. Nicholas and all the staff treated me with utmost respect and care. She called me when the pathology results were back to let me know everything was OK. She also wants to follow up in 3 months, to make sure things still look OK, without further worry for malignancy. Very pleased with my experience, and would recommend her and your clinic staff to friends.

Dr. Diane Hunt was the surgeon on call when my husband's colon burst. She saved his life, and through the years has performed 3 more surgeries on him and one on me. She explains everything so well, is no-nonsense but has a heart. We love her and trust her completely.

Dr. Hunt was truly AMAZING! She listened to me and how I was feeling and gave her input of the next steps. She was able to get me in super quick for surgery. She was very down to earth and had a great bedside manner. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing surgery or another opinion.
