APPENDECTOMY
An appendectomy is an emergency procedure to surgically remove an infected appendix (appendicitis) when symptoms present. The goal is to remove the appendix before it ruptures and becomes life-threatening. Our elite surgical staff have improved and refined less invasive laparoscopic appendectomy techniques to reduce the number of incisions and minimize pain, scarring and recovery time for you. If you experience symptoms of appendicitis, seek emergency medical care immediately.

HERNIA REPAIR
An abdominal hernia occurs when there is a hole, tear or weak spot in the muscle wall, allowing intestine, other organ or in some cases fat tissue to bulge through. This can lead to pain and more serious complications if left untreated. Using leading-edge technology and the skills that come from years of experience, our hernia surgeons specialize in minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic assisted procedures to heal inguinal, incisional, ventral, and umbilical hernias. Your safety and comfort are our top priority so you can get back to living the life you love.

GALLBLADDER SURGERY
Gallbladder surgery may be recommended for a variety of conditions that affect the gallbladder, including cancer and gallstones. While a serious surgery, our experts have dedicated their practice to minimizing the healing time and pain for this procedure. They do this by utilizing laparoscopic, minimally invasive techniques as much as possible to reduce healing time, scaring and pain.

To keep yourself and everyone around you safe, it’s best to call your doctor from home if you or a family member feels under the weather. Your physician can advise you on next steps to take to feel better. To stay on the safe side, follow these steps to get help for coronavirus symptoms:

Know Where to Go

For more information about the coronavirus outbreak, including how to best protect yourself and your family, look through our FAQs, get the latest news and download the app for convenient video visits with your doctor from home, visit the AdventHealth Coronavirus Resource Hub at CoronavirusResourceHub.com.

If you or someone you love has coronavirus symptoms like fever, dry coughing and difficulty breathing, please do not rush to your doctor or urgent care. To avoid the spread of coronavirus, you should avoid the emergency room at your local hospital except in cases of an emergency. The best first step is to call your primary care physician. They’ll help you understand your symptoms and advise on next steps. We know this guidance is different from what you’d normally do, but remember that during this time, it’s important to keep yourself safe and also avoid getting other people sick.

Avoid Urgent Care or Your Physician’s Office 

You can safely see your doctor during the coronavirus outbreak. An in-person visit may not be the safest choice during the outbreak (for you or anyone else in the doctor’s office) so call your doctor from home if you need medical care. To visit with a medical provider virtually from your smartphone or tablet, you can download the AdventHealth app to have a video visit. During this telemedicine appointment, you can video chat with a physician, explain your symptoms, get a diagnosis and even get a prescription that suits your needs.

Only Leave Home for Medical Care if Your Doctor Approves It

On your phone call or video visit with your doctor, they can tell you what to do to feel better, based on your symptoms. Your provider can tell you whether to visit their office for examination, go to an urgent care or go to an emergency department near you — just be sure to get their approval before you leave home unless it’s an emergency.

Call Your Doctor or Use Video Visits From Home

If you've recently visited an impacted area or been in contact with someone who has, and are showing signs of the infection, we encourage you to speak with a doctor. The best way to do this is to call your primary care physician, closest urgent care or schedule a video visit through the AdventHealth app.

If you're immunocompromised or have other underlying health conditions, and you have coronavirus symptoms, please contact your primary care physician for personalized recommendations.

In order to avoid the spread of COVID-19, you should avoid the emergency room at your local hospital except in cases of an emergency.

For more information about the coronavirus outbreak, including how to best protect yourself and your family, look through our FAQs, get the latest news and download the AdventHealth app for convenient video visits with your doctor from home, visit the AdventHealth Coronavirus Resource Hub at CoronavirusResourceHub.com.
