About Us
North Florida Surgeons
Located in sunny Jacksonville, Florida, the surgeons of Baptist Jacksonville Division of North Florida Surgeons are committed to providing patients with the highest level of surgical care and the most comprehensive treatment. Building on a tradition since 1996, our number one goal is to provide patients with a skilled and trusted doctor.
Find The Care You Need With Experts You Can Trust
Within the Baptist Jacksonville Division, our surgeons are trained using state-of-the-art equipment to help them give unbeatable care.
No matter what kind of surgery you need, North Florida Surgeons has health experts you can trust.
North Florida Surgeons handle all types of surgery. Most often, we can use minimally invasive procedures, which enable patients to heal more quickly, experience less pain, and return to their normal routines faster. But when traditional surgery is required, we can handle it, using the latest technology and techniques.
Our expert team performs thousands of procedures each year. But they specialize in meeting each patient’s needs. Our goal is to restore normal routines as quickly as possible.
Surgical Specialists Serving Jacksonville and Northeast Florida
Every surgeon at North Florida Surgeons is board certified by the American Board of Surgery. Each one completed medical school, a general surgery residency and, for many, advanced fellowship training in a surgical specialty. Several are Fellows of the American College of Surgeons (FACS). Together they perform a wide range of surgical procedures, from hernia repair and gallbladder removal to bariatric, colorectal, thyroid, breast and cancer surgery.
Our surgeons work closely with Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville. Depending on the procedure, surgery takes place in the hospital or in an outpatient surgery center, and many patients go home the same day. When your care needs another specialist, such as a gastroenterologist, oncologist or vascular surgeon, we coordinate with them so your health care stays connected.
Our team members guide you through every step: your consultation, insurance approval, how to pre-register for surgery, and recovery. Our enhanced recovery after surgery program helps many patients heal faster with less pain medicine.
