A surgical practice that still feels like a doctor's office.
Summit Surgical Institute is committed to providing our patients the highest quality and most comprehensive medical care — general, thoracic, vascular and cosmetic — in a setting where you are known by name.
Listen carefully. Test thoroughly. Recommend what is right.
That sentence is the whole practice. Whether your care is best managed with medicine or with surgery, we bring our expertise and advanced technology to bear on it — and we treat you with respect while we do.
Our surgeons have been trained by some of the best surgeons in the country. Both are board certified, and both have more than twenty years of experience in their specialties. But credentials are only half of it. Our staff works to make sure you feel welcomed in a warm and comfortable environment, from the moment you call to the day we discharge you.
We support an environment that nurtures cooperation and respect among our physicians, technicians and administrative personnel — because a practice that treats its own people well is a practice that treats patients well.
We are dedicated to healing and comforting our patients.
We value you, and we want you to have the highest quality of life possible.
How care works here
From your first phone call to your last follow-up, here is the path most of our patients take.
You call us
Our staff collects some preliminary information and finds you a time. If your insurance requires a referral, we will tell you before you come in.
We examine and test
A thorough history and physical exam. If you need vascular imaging, our own lab performs painless, non-invasive ultrasound right in the Hackensack office.
We go over the options
Every reasonable choice, with the positives and negatives of each, the recovery involved, and possible side effects — explained so you can decide.
We stay with you
After your procedure we continue to provide comprehensive follow-up therapy. Our doctors are available 24 hours a day for urgent concerns.
