Primary Care
Many insurance companies require referrals. It is the patient's responsibility to know if the insurance company they have requires a referral and to ensure that the proper referral has been sent before their scheduled appointment. It is suggested that the patient obtain a copy of the referral to bring to their appointment even if a copy has been faxed by the primary care physician. Feel free to call our office to check on the status of your referral. We apologize for any inconvenience but we cannot see patients without a referral and non-emergent appointments will be rescheduled.

After residency, he practiced four years in the United Sates Air Force, completing his active duty service at Davis Monthan AFB in Tucson as Chief of General Surgery.

Ultrasound
EVLT is a treatment used for varicose veins that previously were only effectively treated by surgical ligation and stripping. EVLT can be performed in a physician’s office and requires no general anesthesia. EVLT uses ultrasound waves to map out the varicose vein. A local anesthesia is applies to the leg and a thin laser fiber is inserted through a small incision. The laser energy damages the wall of the veins causing them collapse and shrink. The procedure takes less than an hour and usually the patient is able to return to normal activities. Some patients experience minor soreness and bruising, but this can be treated with over the counter non aspirin pain relievers.
MRI
★★★★★ Dr. Atkinson was a awesome Doctor easy to relate too and discuss my problems and was quick to tell me what the MRI had found. He took quick action to get me in to repair the problem.

General Surgery
General surgery encompasses comprehensive care on many different parts of the body, including "lumps and bumps", breast. stomach, esophagus, small and large intestine, the liver, pancreas and spleen, thyroid and parathyroid glands, and all types of hernias. Surgery may be performed either traditionally, with a longer incision via an "open" technique, or with the newer, more advanced laparoscopic techniques utilizing small, more cosmetic incisions. Our surgeons are trained and have extensive experience in laparoscopic techniques involving the gallbladder appendix, inguinal and ventral hernias, removal of the colon, intestine, spleen, and adrenal glands, and anit-reflux procedures for gastroesophageal reflux (GERD).
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Dr. Gustafson graduated from The University of Arizona College of Medicine in 2007. She subsequently completed her general surgical residency at The University of Arizona in 2013. During residency, she completed a research fellowship, was awarded the Charles Putnam Chief Resident of the Year Award and Trauma Resident of the Year Award and served as an Advanced Trauma Life Support instructor. She went on to complete a Minimally Invasive Surgery Fellowship at Saint Francis Hospital in Hartford, Connecticut where she has become proficient in laparoscopic treatment of diseases of the esophagus, diaphragm, spleen, adrenal gland, gallbladder and abdominal wall. Although she has a special interest in surgical treatment of benign diseases of the esophagus, repair of diaphragmatic hernias and abdominal wall hernias, she is board certified in general surgery and welcomes all patients with general surgical needs.
Vascular Surgery
Dr. Schilling graduated with Alpha Omega Alpha honors from the University Of Washington School Of Medicine in 1986, receiving the James Haviland, M.D. Award for clinical excellence. He completed his general surgical residency at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, Texas in 1991 and his vascular surgery fellowship at the University of Arizona in 1993.
Robotic Surgery
Surgical Robotics offer patients the least invasive surgical treatment option available today. Using da Vinci surgical system traditional open surgery can be done laparoscopically, with smaller incisions. Less pain, less blood loss and a faster recovery time are just a few benefits to this approach to surgery.
