As a board-certified general surgeon, Dr. Yousefi performs a wide range of abdominal procedures — gallbladder, hernia, appendix and more — using the laparoscopic approach.
Instead of one large incision, a few millimeter-scale incisions are made and the operation is performed with a camera and fine instruments. The result: less pain, shorter hospital stay, far smaller scars, and a quicker return to work and life.
