Traverse General Surgery & Trauma Care
About Us
Traverse General Surgery & Trauma Care was formed in 2018 with the combining of two well-established surgical practices – Surgical Associates of Traverse City and Grand Traverse Surgery. Comprised of board certified specialists in bariatric, colorectal, and general surgery, we are northern Michigan’s premier surgical practice. We support Munson Medical Center’s Level II Trauma Program with 24/7 in-house trauma surgeon coverage.
We are privileged to live and work along the beautiful shores of West Grand Traverse Bay. Our highly skilled surgical team strives to give you the best surgical experience possible. We are dedicated to providing the most advanced, innovative, and comprehensive surgical care for our patients.
