Their close supervision also ensures that patients receive the best possible care.

In addition to offering the traditional procedures that our respective specialties typically offer, the following are some highlights of cutting-edge care available to Metropolitan patients:

  • Minimally invasive breast surgery is now available with the advent of a Sterotactic Breast biopsy system and Ultrasound Guided core needle biopsy. This minimally invasive modality has allowed for the early detection of both malignant and benign breast disease without the need for sedation/analgesia and large incisions.

  • The Bariatric Surgery Program services the community offering patients Laparoscopic Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy as a surgical option in the treatment of morbid obesity.

  • We have a new technique of coblation which decreases postoperative pain and increases patient satisfaction. Also we are one of the only centers in the area to offer auditory brainstem response under general anesthesia.

  • In addition to colonoscopy screening as recommended by the American Cancer Society, we offer repair of everything from troublesome hemorrhoids to the advanced treatment of colorectal cancer.

  • Plastics and Hand Surgery offers a range of cosmetic surgery to craniofacial reconstruction and breast reconstruction after malignancy.

  • From minimally invasive video assisted surgery to open thoracic procedures with new muscle sparing incisions, patients have a quicker recovery time.

  • Vascular surgery for the advanced treatment of varicose and spider veins.
