When you need surgery, you want to be sure you’re in good hands. The general surgery team at CHA is made up of highly skilled, caring doctors who put your safety and comfort first.

Our general surgeons perform a variety of procedures, including surgery for the appendix, stomach, colon and gallbladder. Whenever we can, we use methods which allow for faster and easier recovery. In some cases, you may even be able to go home the same day. Our goal is to help you get the best results with the least discomfort.

Amazing Surgeons, Better Human Beings

If you need surgery care, you want to find an amazing surgeon who truly cares about you and your health.

At CHA, our general surgery team has done thousands of procedures for both common and complex conditions.

We see patients in Cambridge, Everett and Somerville, and if surgery is required, we'll use the latest equipment and techniques. This includes using the DaVinci surgical robot for the best health outcomes. 

The CHA Department of Surgery works closely with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and is a teaching site for the Beth Israel General Surgery Residency Program.

Connecting with your team

Our surgeons work closely with your primary care doctor. We’ll stay in touch with your care team to make sure that you get the right care before and after your surgery.
