Gallbladder Surgery

Overview

Gallbladder Surgery

Gallbladder surgery, or cholecystectomy, is a common procedure to treat gallstones and other gallbladder-related conditions. When gallstones cause pain, inflammation, or complications, surgery offers effective relief. Dr. Johnathan Hubbard provides expert care using minimally invasive techniques for faster recovery and long-term results.
