    • FAQs About Pain Medicine

    Q1: What does a general surgeon do?
    A1: General surgeons perform procedures on various parts of the body, including the abdomen, digestive tract, skin, and soft tissues. They often manage conditions like hernias, appendicitis, and gallstones.

    Q2: Is laparoscopic surgery always an option?
    A2: In many cases, yes. Minimally invasive (laparoscopic) surgery offers faster recovery and smaller incisions. However, not all cases are suitable, especially in emergencies or if complications arise.

    Q3: Do I need a referral to see a general surgeon at BASS?
    A3: Many insurance plans require a referral from your primary care provider. However, you can contact BASS Medical Group directly, and our staff can help you determine if a referral is necessary.
