Board-Certified Surgeons with 50+ Years of Combined Experience
While the name may suggest otherwise, “general” surgery is
actually a surgical specialty that involves a whole spectrum or diseases
and injuries affecting almost any area of the body, but most commonly
on the abdominal regions. General surgeons also handle lumps, bumps, and
other soft tissue conditions, in addition to vascular surgery.
Our general surgeons at Ogden Clinic have extensive experience performing
common surgeries as well as trauma-related procedures. In fact, Ogden
Clinic general surgeons are the exclusive trauma addressors at Ogden Regional
Medical Center, certified in Advanced Trauma Life Support. It’s
easy to see that Ogden Clinic surgeons are distinguished in Ogden for
their outstanding clinical care and discernment.

Minimally Invasive Technologies for Surgery
Many of the common surgeries offered today no longer require large incisions.
Thanks to technological advancements and training, surgery at Ogden Clinic
has become faster, easier, and safer. In the past, many conditions in
the abdominal or pelvic regions required highly invasive open surgery,
but now those conditions can be corrected without that level of risk to
the body, through minimally invasive surgery using laparoscopic techniques.
At Ogden Clinic, our surgeons are equipped to perform minimally invasive
surgery with a laparoscope. Laparoscopic surgery is becoming increasingly
popular in the world today thanks to its many benefits including shorter
hospital stays, less internal trauma and scarring, faster recovery, diminished
post-operative discomfort, and better cosmetic results. Only a few small
incisions are necessary for these surgeries. Our surgeons will guide a
slender tube with a built-in laparoscopic camera into the affected site.
They use thin, responsive instruments to perform the operation with incredible
precision. Your Ogden Clinic surgeon views the entire procedure through
a video screen while maneuvering the camera.
Procedures such as biopsy, hernia repair, cholecystectomy, polyp and ulcer
removal, and colon cancer removal can be performed laparoscopically. Minimally
invasive surgery has been practiced for many years here at Ogden Clinic,
and they have seen great success including safer operation and easier
recovery. Often, these operations don’t even require an overnight
stay, saving you time and money.
