Gastrointestinal Surgery
From common surgeries to the most complex surgical procedures, our general surgeons are providing patients from throughout Tampa Bay with the most advanced care available. As this region’s only academic medical center, physicians from across the state refer their patients to our skilled surgeons, knowing that their patients are receiving the newest surgical treatments and procedures.
Our team collaborates with specialists and dedicated centers; such as the Joy McCann Culverhouse Center for Swallowing Disorders and others focused on specialized services across USF Health.
