CHI Saint Joseph Medical Group - Surgery

We have expertise in a range of surgical procedures for: 

• Abdominal surgeries including appendix, stomach and spleen

• Hernia repairs and hemorrhoid surgery

• Minor vascular surgery

Before your procedure, our team provides detailed instructions. These may include dietary restrictions, medication guidelines and pre-operative tests. Following these steps helps ensure a smooth procedure and recovery.

Bring your ID, insurance card, a list of medications and any relevant medical records or imaging studies. It’s also helpful to prepare a list of questions for the surgeon.

Most surgeries are covered by insurance, but coverage varies based on your plan and procedure. Contact your insurance provider or our billing office for verification and assistance.

For billing inquiries, please call (877) 941-7127.

Minimally invasive surgeries (like laparoscopic procedures) use small incisions and advanced technology. These procedures reduce your recovery time and discomfort. Your eligibility depends on your condition and the procedure required.

Recovery times vary based on your procedure and general health. Your surgeon will provide a detailed timeline and post-operative care instructions during your consultation.

If you experience unexpected pain, swelling or other symptoms after surgery, contact our office immediately. For emergencies, seek urgent medical attention.

We offer comprehensive follow-up care, including wound management and physical therapy recommendations. Our team carefully monitors your recovery progress.
