Surgeons at Wellmont Health System facilities stand ready to help when you need it most. Whether you need an outpatient procedure or a lengthy, complex operation, our board-certified surgeons, anesthesiologists and specially trained nursing and support staff provide expert care every time.
Our well-trained, professional medical staff members take your safety personally. Before you go in for a procedure, don’t be surprised when you are asked to confirm your name and the procedure you are getting. It’s all part of our ongoing effort to become the safest health care system in America.
While all surgical procedures are different, there is some standard information that we believe our patients should know. Click the links to the left to learn more about the general processes and procedures for surgical patients at Wellmont Health System.
