About Our Providers
At Paragon Surgical Specialists, our goal is to make sure that the most appropriate course of treatment is taken for each patient. That means that surgery is not always the first option. With this conservative approach, we consider a broad range of alternatives, review input from your primary care provider, and then determine if and when surgery would be most beneficial.
