Comprised of 15 physicians and 20 Advanced Practitioners, our goal at Urgent Surgery Associates is to provide excellent patient care centered on serious and acute general surgery.

While primarily hospital-based, we remain available for providing care and consultation for a variety of non-urgent general surgery.
