Services

Our surgeons at Community Care General Surgery treat patients experiencing a wide variety of problems requiring surgery — from benign, routine conditions to cancers. We offer the latest techniques and treatments, including minimally invasive and robotic surgery options. From initial referral, preoperative counseling, surgical intervention and post-operative follow up, our patients and their families can expect the personalized attention that is deserved.

Community Care General Surgery provides comprehensive surgical care primarily for adults with limited procedures on children and adolescents. Our services include but are not limited to:

• Traditional general surgery

• Upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy
• Abdominal surgery (robotic and laparoscopic)

Our surgeons perform inpatient and outpatient procedures at St. Peter’s Hospital. Some of our surgical procedures, including colonoscopies and endoscopies, can be performed at Community Care Physicians’ convenient Interventional and Endoscopy Suite in our building at Wellness Way in Latham, NY, instead of in the hospital, offering patients a comfortable and private office setting with pre- and post-procedure areas and ample parking.
