General surgery is a surgical specialty that focuses on abdominal contents including the esophagus, stomach, small bowel, colon, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, appendix and bile ducts, and often the thyroid gland. A general surgeon performs a wide range of abdominal surgeries for many forms of intestinal and abdominal wall neoplasms, gallbladder disease, gastric and pancreatic disease. They follow the patient through critical care and surgical recovery all the way to outpatient care.
Bariatric surgery includes a variety of procedures performed on people who are obese. Long-term weight loss through standard of care procedures is largely achieved by altering gut hormone levels that are responsible for hunger and satiety, leading to a new hormonal weight set point. Bariatricians or bariatric physicians are licensed medical professionals who treat and prevent disorders that are linked to obesity. They diagnose patients with obesity, using the Body Mass Index.
As a testament of his dedication to his patients, Dr. Petrosky has been the recipient of the Caregiver Award in 2014 and 2017.
