Our most recent initiatives includes a minimally invasive surgery program, hepatobiliary and pancreatic program, and multidisciplinary breast center. All of our surgeons handle routine cases, as well as more complex procedures. Whenever possible, we use minimally invasive techniques to reduce the discomfort and recovery time of surgery.

These procedures, including endoscopy, are performed at Cambridge and Everett Hospitals, while outpatient endoscopy is performed at our Somerville Hospital campus.
