Da Vinci Robot Speeds Your Recovery
Many surgeries are performed using laparoscopic or robotic procedures to minimize risk and maximize recovery.
The da Vinci robot amplifies operations by being the hands and eyes of the doctor. Your surgeon will guide the robot’s instruments — which bring hyper-focused precision to the surgery — while the system relays 3D high-definition views of the surgical area magnified up to 10x the acuity of a human eye.
A laparoscopy or robotic surgery can bring a host of benefits, including:
- Smaller incisions
- Less pain
- Shorter hospital stay
- Faster recovery time
- Minimal scarring

Your Road To Healing
Having surgery can be a major life event, and recovery time may take days, weeks, or even months. We provide extensive services to help you heal physically, mentally, and emotionally, including:
