When you need surgery, two things matter most: the quality of your care and the cost. At Atlanta General and Bariatric Surgery Center, we've built our practice around both. As the first and only comprehensive outpatient general surgery center in Johns Creek, we offer a full range of general surgery services performed by board-certified surgeons in a state-of-the-art, MBSA- and AAAHC-accredited facility — and still, our rates are often significantly lower than hospital-based care.
Because we are a free-standing ambulatory surgical care center, we are able to offer the same high-quality procedures you'd expect from a major hospital system, without the overhead costs that come with one. That means more affordable options for self-pay patients, and lower out-of-pocket costs for those using insurance. We accept most major insurance plans and have recently reduced our self-pay rates to make surgical care more accessible than ever.
Our experienced team treats a wide range of conditions, including hernias, acid reflux disease, colon conditions, abdominal disorders, and endocrine issues. Whatever your surgical need, we're here to provide compassionate, expert care close to home. Request an appointment today to get started.
The abdomen is home to some of the body's most important organs, and when something goes wrong, prompt and expert surgical care is essential. Our general surgeons in Atlanta treat a wide range of abdominal conditions, including:
Wherever possible, our surgeons use minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques to reduce recovery time, minimize scarring, and get you back to normal life faster. Most patients are able to go home the same day as their procedure. Learn more about our full range of abdominal surgery services and what to expect during your care.
Chronic acid reflux, also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), is more than just an occasional inconvenience. When stomach acid repeatedly flows back into the esophagus, it can cause lasting damage and significantly affect your quality of life. Common symptoms include:
When lifestyle changes and medications are no longer enough, surgical treatment may be the best path forward. Our surgeons specialize in acid reflux surgery, including laparoscopic fundoplication, a minimally invasive procedure that reinforces the valve between the esophagus and stomach to prevent acid from backing up. Most patients experience significant relief from symptoms following surgery and are able to reduce or eliminate their reliance on reflux medications.
Conditions affecting the large intestine can range from uncomfortable to life-threatening, and surgical intervention is sometimes the most effective path to lasting relief. Our general surgeons in Atlanta are experienced in treating a variety of colon conditions, including:
Colon surgery is performed using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques whenever possible, reducing recovery time and lowering the risk of complications compared to traditional open surgery. Our team provides comprehensive pre-operative education and post-operative support to ensure every patient feels informed, prepared, and cared for throughout the entire process.
A hernia occurs when an organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle wall, often creating a visible bulge and causing pain or pressure in the affected area. Hernias will not heal on their own and, without treatment, tend to worsen over time. Our general surgeons treat several common types of hernias, including:
Our team performs both open and laparoscopic hernia repair surgery, selecting the best approach based on each patient's unique situation. Laparoscopic repair typically means smaller incisions, less post-operative pain, and a quicker return to normal activities. If you've been searching for a general surgeon for hernia repair in Atlanta, our team is ready to help.
The endocrine system regulates some of the body's most critical functions, including metabolism, hormone production, and calcium levels. When conditions affecting the thyroid, parathyroid, or adrenal glands require surgical treatment, it is essential to work with a surgeon who has specialized experience in this area. Our team treats a range of endocrine conditions, including:
Endocrine surgery requires a careful, precise approach, and our surgeons are trained to deliver exactly that. Using minimally invasive techniques wherever possible, we aim to provide effective treatment with the shortest recovery time and the least disruption to your daily life. Our team will work closely with your endocrinologist and primary care physician to coordinate comprehensive, seamless care.
