General & breast surgery

Our Optum General Surgery department is staffed with highly skilled physicians who provide comprehensive surgical care for patients and their families. Our general surgeons diagnose and provide care for surgical conditions affecting almost any area of the body, including thyroid, neck, breast, abdomen, and chest, as well as internal systems, such as the gastrointestinal and endocrine systems. We also offer weight loss surgery through our Bariatric program. We work closely with other members of the multi-specialty Optum group, and other community physicians, to ensure the best treatment program for each patient. Our physicians are all Board Certified in General Surgery.

We are following guidelines set by the CDC and actively working with the State Department of Health on the phased approach for vaccine distribution. If you received your first dose of the vaccine from Optum prior to January 25, 2021, you should have already received your appointment confirmation for the second dose. This appointment confirmation will come via phone, text, or email from the State's COVID-19 vaccine registration portal. For those that received their first dose after January 25, 2021, we provided details following your vaccine on how you can get registered for the second dose.

Additionally, those that received their vaccine prior to January 25, 2021: Due to an administrative error, you may have received a bill for the administration of the vaccine. This bill was incorrectly sent out, and you can disregard it. We have removed the charge from your account. Should you have any further questions, please contact us at 1-505-232-1000.
