Surgical Services
Martin General Hospital offers general and specialized surgical procedures. Many of these procedures are available on a same-day, outpatient basis.
We offer outpatient and inpatient surgeries five days a week and emergency procedures as needed. Our staff of OR physicians, nurses and anesthesiologists are here to make sure that you are as comfortable as possible before, during and after your surgery.
Pre-admission testing takes place before your procedure and usually includes blood work, EKG exam, chest X-ray, physical assessment and recording your medical history.
