  • What’s the difference between a general surgeon and a specialist surgeon?

    General surgeons are trained to perform a wide range of procedures across various parts of the body, giving them a broad and versatile skill set. Specialist surgeons, on the other hand, receive additional training to focus on one specific area—such as the heart, brain, or spine.

    Do I need a referral to see a general surgeon?

    In many cases, patients are referred by their primary care provider or another specialist. However, you can also schedule a consultation directly if you believe you may need surgical care. Be sure to check with your health insurance provider for any referral or coverage requirements.

    How should I prepare for surgery?

    Preparation depends on the type of surgery you’re having. Common steps may include fasting, adjusting medications, and completing pre-op tests. Your care team at MISH Hospital will give you clear, personalized instructions to follow before your procedure.

    What is the typical recovery time after surgery?

    Recovery varies depending on the procedure and your overall health. Some minor surgeries have quick recovery times of just a few days, while more complex procedures may require several weeks. Your surgeon will guide you through what to expect and how to heal safely.

    Are there risks involved with surgery?

    Yes, all surgeries involve some level of risk—such as bleeding, infection, or reactions to anesthesia. At MISH Hospital, we prioritize your safety and follow the most up-to-date protocols to minimize risks. Your surgeon will thoroughly discuss any potential complications and how they’re managed.
