“Experienced, compassionate, and innovative” aptly describe the team at Southwest Surgical Associates, who pursue their mission of improving each person’s quality of life by offering the highest level of surgical care in the state. At their offices in Cypress, Katy, Sugarland, Pearland, and Houston, Texas, the practices’ board-certified surgeons help each person live longer, healthier lives with exceptional care and individualized treatments.

Each office emphasizes compassion and attentiveness for all patients. From the moment they enter the office, people experience warm, caring smiles at the front desk and nurses and doctors who call each person by name and treat them like family. 

Moments like these make patients realize that old-fashioned, personalized medical care hasn’t disappeared; it’s right here, along with today’s state-of-the-art treatments and surgical technology.

The surgical team has extensive experience in many surgical techniques, including minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery and da Vinci® robotic surgery. Laparoscopy allows them to screen, diagnose, and treat most health conditions with small incisions that promote a faster, less painful recovery.

The physicians at Southwest Surgical Associates are all board-certified general surgeons uniquely trained to treat a vast range of health concerns. They have years of experience performing procedures such as appendectomy, adrenalectomy, thyroidectomy, hernia surgery, and colorectal surgery.

They offer diagnostic and screening colonoscopies, as well as specialized care. Patients can receive bariatric surgery and treatment for heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The team also includes specialists in breast surgery, including lumpectomy, mastectomy, and other advanced procedures for treating breast cancer.

Southwest Surgical Associates believe they can give the best surgical care through collaboration between patients, staff, and physicians. To that end, the team builds relationships and truly cares for each patient and their unique concerns and medical needs.
