Meet Dr. Reynolds
Laparoscopic surgery has been a big revolution over the last 20 years. It initally started with us doing laparoscopic appendectomy but has evolvedd into more complex surgeries like ventral hernia repairs, colon resections, and advanced anti-reflux surgery. I have a special interest in hernia surgery, abdominal wall reconstruction and acid reflux treatment, which are very well-suited to minimally-invasive surgeries.

It’s very common for gallstones to form within the gallbladder along with other diseases.
