Welcome
During the first half of this century, virtually all surgery done in the
Western world were performed by general surgeons. As medicine advanced, so did specialty
interests in different organ systems or anatomic regions of the human body. Individual
general surgeons began to specialize in some of these subjects, and from these interests
the numerous surgical subspecialties have grown. Today, well-trained specialists work in
branches of general surgery such as cardiovascular diseases, orthopedics, neurology, and
otolaryngology.
The specialty of general surgery has evolved as well. Board-certified general surgeons
treat diseases that involve organ systems such as endocrine glands (hormones),
gastrointestinal system, skin and breast. Hernias of all types are also treated by the
general surgeon.
Dr. Patrick K. Fadahunsi M.D. has developed specific surgical interests, while
maintaining a commitment to the patient as a whole human being.
Patients often wonder, "how do I choose a surgeon" or "how do I know my
surgeon is qualified in a specific area?" The patient should ask his primary care
physician or the surgeon directly concerning training, certification and caseload or
experience. Your surgeon should be board certified by the American Board of Surgery.
Fellowship in the American College of Surgeons demonstrates your physician's commitment to
excellence.
