Specializes in Surgery

Gallstones : Many people have gallstones that are not symptomatic and do not require surgery. Once you start having symptoms that interfere with your daily life or a severe episode/complication of gallstones and surgery would generally be recommended. A personalized treatment plan could be obtained by seeing a surgeon in your area.
