Free Hernia Consultation/ Screening

Do you have discomfort that increases when lifting or straining? Do you have a dull sense of abdominal pressure, or a “bulge” in your lower abdomen or groin area that is painful? Heavy lifting, prior abdominal surgery and sports-related groin injuries are all causes of hernias. A hernia occurs when an organ or fatty tissue squeezes through a weak spot in a surrounding muscle in the abdominal wall. Our highly qualified, fellowship trained physician will provide a screening exam to determine whether you have a hernia and advise you on what treatment options are available.

Appointments are suggested. Space is limited. Walk-ins are welcome.
