Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What are the benefits of minimally invasive surgery?
It's surgery done through tiny cuts instead of one large one. This means you'll have less pain, smaller scars, and get back to your normal life much faster.
2. I have a hernia. Does it need to be repaired?
The most common sign is a bulge in your belly or groin. Hernias don't fix themselves and can get worse, so surgery is needed to prevent a serious problem where tissue gets stuck in the hernia.
3. What does it mean that you are board-certified in Obesity Medicine?
It means that in addition to being a surgeon, I am also a medical expert in treating obesity. This allows me to offer a full range of options, including non-surgical treatments, to create the best plan for you.
4. How can surgery help my acid reflux (GERD)?
Often, chronic reflux is caused by a physical problem called a hiatal hernia. While pills help with the burning feeling, they don't fix the cause. We can perform a minimally invasive surgery to correct the issue, providing a long-term solution.
5. How can I schedule an appointment with Dr. Ewing?
You can schedule an appointment with Dr. Ewing by calling one of his HMH Advanced Laparoscopic Associates offices in Bergen or Hudson counties.
