Each service is an established clinic with assigned credentialed staff surgeons. Due to our support for worldwide military operations, services may be limited in which case patients are referred to appropriate levels of care within the hospital or in the civilian community.
The General Surgery Clinic provides support to the four main patient care clinics: Primary Care Clinic, Internal Medicine Clinic, Family Practice Clinic, and Flight Medicine Clinic. Patients are referred to our services after their Primary Care Manager team has seen them and have determined if their condition warrants treatment or a surgeon's review.
DGMC's Pre-Op Clinic, Anesthesia services, Operating Room department, Inpatient and Outpatient surgical ward teams, along with on-site Pharmacy, Diagnostic and Therapuetic capabilities all work together to provide our surgical patients state of the art care making sure the patient's multi-disciplinary needs are met.
