General Surgery: Why Choose Us?
At Nuvance Health, you’ll find specialized services for your surgical needs, including:
-
Close-to-home care
The general surgery team at Nuvance Health offers the latest surgical techniques to aid your treatment and speed your healing. We offer quality care, close to home.
-
Advanced procedures
The team uses minimally invasive techniques, including robotic surgery and laparoscopy. These procedures use smaller incisions, so many patients return to full activity sooner with less scarring and pain. Danbury and New Milford Hospitals have enhanced their surgical capabilities by introducing the Da Vinci 5 robotic-assisted system for a variety of procedures such as hernia repairs and bariatric surgery for weight loss.
-
Recognized expertise
Our hospitals and surgeons hold a number of designations and certifications. Danbury Hospital, Putnam Hospital, Northern Dutchess Hospital and Vassar Brothers Medical Center have achieved accreditation as a Center of Excellence in Robotic Surgery, from the Surgical Review Corporation (SRC). Danbury Hospital was the first in Connecticut to achieve this distinction. The process to accreditation requires the hospital to meet rigorous requirements.
-
Team-based approach
In addition to partnering with your primary care physician, surgeons work closely with anesthesiologists, surgical intensivists, radiologists, nurse practitioners and nurses to support every aspect of your care.
