Location Details
The physicians of Sentara Surgery Specialists, Division of Albemarle Physician Services, Inc., use the latest surgical techniques and equipment to provide high quality patient care. Specializing in general and vascular surgery, our skilled team treats conditions ranging from breast cancer and gallbladder disease to skin lesions and varicose veins.
We are proud to offer da Vinci robotic surgery for certain procedures. Robotic surgery enables our surgeons to operate with greater visualization, magnification and dexterity. Patient benefits include faster recovery time, less pain, less scarring and less risk of infection. Surgery is performed through tiny incisions, providing a less-invasive alternative to open surgery, which requires larger incisions. Smaller incisions mean faster healing time, so you can get back to your life quicker.
