Services
General surgery is a surgical specialty that focuses on abdominal contents including the pancreas, stomach, small bowel, colon, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, wound care, appendix, bile ducts, breast masses and often the thyroid gland.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Minimally invasive surgery is a surgery minimizing surgical incisions to reduce trauma to the body. This type of surgery is usually performed using thin-needles and an endoscope to visually guide the surgery.
Minor Procedures
Minor Surgery involves little risk to the life of the patient specifically: an operation on the superficial structures of the body or a manipulative procedure that does not involve a serious risk — in comparison to major surgery. Many procedures can be performed with an office visit, such as the removal of skin lesions, lymphomas and acute abscess drainage.

What’s Being Said
"Dr. Covington saved my life! I cannot say enough about how amazing she is! Not only does she know her medical/surgical stuff she has a wonderful bedside manner. A lot of physicians lack in that department. I wished I would have had my first surgery with her then maybe I would not have had a second that she had to correct! Thank you for taking care of me!"
Tanya H.
