Need A Hernia Specialist?
inguinal
hernia
Inguinal hernias are the most common type of hernia encountered. They occur in women but occur more commonly in males. About 1 in 4 males will have an inguinal hernia at some point in their lifetime. The testicle descending from the abdomen into the scrotum predisposes males to have a natural weakness in the groin where inguinal hernias occur.
hiatal
hernia
Hiatal hernias typically occur later in life and cause a myriad of symptoms. Symptoms may include heartburn, nausea, vomiting, regurgitation, abdominal pain, chest pain, difficulty swallowing, bloating, belching, or coughing. The term hiatal comes from hiatus (or opening), specifically the esophageal hiatus.
umbilical
hernia
Umbilical hernias are one of the most common hernias encountered. They are naturally occurring hernias, common in all ages from infants to the elderly. They occur at the navel, also known as the umbilicus. This is the site that the umbilical cord previously passed through and acts as a natural site of weakness in the abdominal wall.

I couldn't believe how fast I recovered!
I had been dealing with hernia symptoms for months and was honestly scared of surgery. But from the very first consultation, my surgeon put me at ease. The robotic procedure was smooth, and I was back on my feet within days.

I had a complicated hernia case that others had turned down. This surgeon didn’t hesitate — he laid out a clear plan, and the results have been life-changing.

My hernia symptoms disappeared overnight, and the scar is barely visible.
From the front desk to the operating room, every person I encountered was warm, knowledgeable, and efficient. The whole process felt seamless.

I’ve already recommended them to two friends dealing with hernia symptoms.
This was my first major surgery, and I was terrified. But the team treated me with such care and empathy. My surgeon was clearly experienced, and I felt safe every step of the way.
