• Skin surgery, such as removal of skin cancers, moles, cysts, lesions, scar revisions, lumps, and tumor removals.
• Hernias in the groin or abdominal wall (with or without the use of mesh to strengthen the repair)
• Abdominal surgery, such as stomach, lower gastrointestinal tract (colon), spleen, gallbladder, and small bowel.
• Anal or rectal surgery, such as hemorrhoids, tumors, or fissures.
• Laparoscopic surgery to include hernias, stomach, intestine, and sometimes chest/lung.
• Vascular surgery for Varicose Veins and spider veins related to venous insufficiency (poorly functioning veins).
• Surgery involving injuries or trauma surgery.

Thanks to the evolution of technology, many once very intrusive surgical procedures can now be done laparoscopically, or minimally invasively.  Dr. Grover has expertise in Laparoscopic surgery.
