Acute Care and General Surgery

Providing the highest quality of expert care to patients

 

Care from the Experts

The  Acute Care and General Surgery Division of the UNC Department of Surgery and UNC Healthcare Systems is dedicated to fulfilling several missions. Our team is dedicated to providing the highest quality care for injured and critically ill patients. We develop and implement multidisciplinary research programs designed to investigate the physiologic, metabolic, and pathologic states affecting patients with multiple injuries. When it comes to the our education mission, we provide high-quality relevant education to medical students, residents, fellows, nurses, and paramedical personnel in areas relating to the care of our surgical patients. Our other main mission is our research efforts in which we provide a rich clinical and research environment to facilitate the training of Critical Care Fellows..

We are a group of highly trained expert surgeons in the field of general, acute care and trauma surgery. We are calm and compassionate, understanding that taking care of patients is our highest priority. Whether it is a serious acute illness requiring surgical intervention or an emergent or urgent surgery, we are here for our patients throughout the entire medical journey.

UNC’s surgeons are committed to delivering exceptional, compassionate surgical care to our community. Patients can look forward to the same quality, expert care they’ve come to expect from UNC Health Care. The only difference they’ll notice is that the closest hospital to their home just got more convenient. That means integrated, patient-centered care with inpatient and outpatient treatments.
