When it comes to hernia surgery, having the right surgeon can mean the difference between a healthy employee or a pain ridden employee. That’s why it’s important to choose the right surgeon the first time. Hernia Connect surgeons specialize in hernia surgery. We perform 2-10x the number of hernia repairs than general surgeons. We connect on our commitment to quality improvement. This focused approach has led to significantly better outcomes for our patients including less pain, less opioid use, and the lowest recurrence rates.
Time lost to prolonged recovery, pain, or hernia recurrence can be a greater expense than the surgery itself. Employers can avoid this complication and keep employees healthy and productive by choosing a Hernia Connect surgeon. We work to minimize risks of complications and understand how hernias, repairs, and recovery impact patients' quality of life. We tailor care to allow patients to get back to their livelihood, work, and what's important to them as soon as possible after surgery.
