How to find surgical care, close to home
You may know that Winchester Medical Center offers advanced surgical
services. But did you know that surgical specialists provide advanced care
at locations across the region? Below are answers to your questions about
how area residents can find top-notch surgical care from a Valley Health
surgeon, close to home.
Q: WHAT TYPES OF SURGERY ARE PERFORMED AT MY REGIONAL
HOSPITAL?
A: Valley Health employs and partners with many surgeons who routinely
perform general abdominal surgery (gall bladder, hernia, bowel and upper
GI procedures, for example); breast and gynecologic procedures; colonoscopy;
and orthopedic, urologic, and ear, nose and throat procedures. Our
surgeons use a combination of minimally invasive endoscopic and laparoscopic
techniques, along with traditional open surgery, selecting the most
appropriate approach for each patient’s unique needs.
Like many other Valley Health surgeons, Javeed Khan, MD, general
surgeon at Hampshire Memorial Hospital, notes that locally performed,
minimally invasive options offer numerous benefits to patients: “I am able
to perform many types of surgery on an outpatient basis … so patients often
don’t have to stay overnight in the hospital. Now they can get surgical care
close to home. When patients do have to stay overnight, they value having
family nearby.”
Q: WHAT STEPS DO I NEED TO TAKE TO GET SPECIALIZED
SURGICAL CARE IN MY COMMUNITY HOSPITAL?
A: Many patients are referred by their primary care provider to a specialist
at a local Valley Health facility—and patients may be pleasantly surprised
when a surgeon offers nonsurgical treatment options. “Not everyone who is
referred needs surgery,” says Greg Hardigree, MD, orthopedic surgeon, who
sees patients at Valley Health Shenandoah Memorial Hospital Multispecialty
Clinic. “I always begin with the simplest treatments. I have many tools in my
medical tool box, and surgery is one, but not the only one. Often medication,
therapy or injections are tried before surgery is considered.” He adds that his
patients appreciate the convenience of getting care in their local community.
