Compassionate, exceptional surgical staff that put your needs first—that's what you'll get when you're a patient at Palo Pinto General Hospital (PPGH). We pride ourselves on being the friendliest hospital you'll ever come to. And we do it while meeting the highest standards of care.
Our Surgical Department
Walk into our surgery department, and the first thing you're likely to notice is the comfortable atmosphere. We'll always greet you with a smile. And our spacious, individual rooms offer peace and privacy, allowing you to rest, recover and visit with loved ones.
There's much more going on behind the scenes, of course. We're accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO). This is a mark of international healthcare excellence that shows our dedication to patient health and safety down to the very last detail. We even use technology to track the surgical tools used in your procedure to ensure that each instrument is processed correctly.
Specialized Surgery Services
Our specialized and general surgeons are highly experienced in a range of procedures, including:
- General surgery.
- Eye surgery, such as cataract surgery.
- Gastrointestinal surgery, such as colon resections.
- Gynecologic procedures.
- Orthopedic surgeries, such as total hip and knee replacement.
- Podiatric surgeries, such as Lapidus procedures.
- Urologic procedures, such as kidney stone removal.
Many of these surgeries can be performed using minimally invasive technologies, like laparoscopy or lasers. That means smaller incisions, a lower complication risk and a speedier recovery time.
Uniquely Personal Surgical Care
Patients are our top priority. We understand that surgery is a big deal, so we'll walk you through every step of the process to put you at ease. With us, you'll know just what to expect from the time you schedule your appointment through when you leave the hospital.
We'll always treat you like an individual, not a number. Our surgeons take the time to meet with you and your caregivers both before and after your procedure. And our dedicated nurses provide one-to-one care to ensure that your needs are met throughout your stay.
When it's time to head home, we'll make sure you're armed with the tools and knowledge you need to continue your recovery. It's care for real people, by real people.
