Our goal is to provide expert surgical care with the convenience, compassion, and personalized attention patients deserve close to home.

Abdominal & Gastrointestinal Conditions

The General Surgery team at WVU Medicine Uniontown Hospital provides expert evaluation and treatment for a wide range of abdominal and gastrointestinal conditions. Our surgeons care for patients experiencing appendicitis, gallbladder disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), ulcers, and gastritis, offering both medical management and surgical solutions when appropriate. Using advanced diagnostic techniques and minimally invasive surgical approaches whenever possible, we help patients find relief from pain, digestive symptoms, and other conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract. Our goal is to provide timely treatment that improves health, restores function, and enhances quality of life.

Hernia & Structural Repair

Hernias and abdominal wall abnormalities can cause discomfort, limit daily activities, and lead to serious complications if left untreated. Our experienced surgeons provide comprehensive treatment for inguinal, umbilical, and ventral hernias, as well as other abdominal wall defects. Through advanced surgical techniques, including laparoscopic and robotic-assisted procedures, we are able to repair many hernias with smaller incisions, less postoperative pain, and faster recovery times. Each treatment plan is tailored to the patient's specific condition, lifestyle, and long-term health goals.

Cancer & Endocrine Surgery

WVU Medicine Uniontown Hospital offers specialized surgical care for patients diagnosed with gastrointestinal and endocrine disorders. Our surgeons provide treatment for colon cancer and other gastrointestinal malignancies while working closely with oncology specialists to coordinate comprehensive cancer care. We also diagnose and treat thyroid cancer, parathyroid disorders, and other endocrine-related conditions that may require surgical intervention. Through a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach, patients receive personalized treatment plans focused on achieving the best possible outcomes while supporting their overall health and well-being.

Colorectal & Digestive Health

Maintaining digestive health is an important part of overall wellness. Our surgeons provide a full range of colorectal and digestive health services, including upper endoscopy, colonoscopy, and lower endoscopic procedures used to diagnose and treat a variety of gastrointestinal conditions. We evaluate and treat symptoms such as rectal pain, bleeding, hemorrhoids, and perirectal abscesses with compassionate, patient-centered care. Whether patients need routine preventive screenings or treatment for more complex digestive concerns, our team is committed to delivering high-quality care in a comfortable and supportive environment.

Breast Health

Our breast health services provide comprehensive surgical care for patients facing both benign and cancerous breast conditions. We offer breast cancer evaluation and surgical treatment in coordination with oncology specialists, ensuring patients receive personalized care throughout every stage of diagnosis and treatment. Our surgeons also perform procedures for benign breast conditions and provide lymph node biopsies that help guide treatment decisions and support accurate diagnosis. We understand breast health concerns can be overwhelming, and we are committed to providing compassionate care, education, and support throughout the patient journey.
