A general surgery office visit for a new patient is a first-time visit with a general surgeon who specializes in surgical procedures of the entire body. General surgery deals with all nine basic areas of surgery, including the digestive tract, the abdomen, skin and soft tissue (including breasts), the head and neck, blood vessels and the heart, the endocrine system (hormones and glands), cancer, traumatic injuries, and critically ill patients. General surgeons perform a wide variety of common surgical treatments like colonoscopy, gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy), appendix removal (appendectomy), hernia repair, hemorrhoidectomy, mastectomy, and mole removal. A new-patient office visit is needed if you have never seen this doctor and would be new to the practice, or it has been over 3 years since you last saw this doctor.
