                                   W. Scott Pennington, Jr., M.D. FACS

“As a child of a family practitioner, I learned that a physician’s work is not just healing but a ministry to the whole person. I saw early on how fulfilling it could be to participate in the healing process. I find surgery a gratifying area of medicine because it often deals with acute, life-threatening illnesses that can be cured by a single procedure. As God leads me, my personal goal is to provide patients with excellent, minimally-invasive, up-to-date surgical care in a compassionate, caring manner."

John G. Touliatos, M.D. FACS

“My commitment as a surgeon is to provide the highest quality care with the most effective and progressive means available. Minimally-invasive techniques now allow us to perform complex procedures with excellent outcome and minimal discomfort. This advance in medicine elevates the standard of care for surgery and has motivated me to advance in this area. I am very thankful to be a part of a group of surgeons who desire excellence in all things as I do. The physicians and staff share my beliefs and goals and we look confidently to the future as we advance together."
