About Us
About Us
The surgeons at Wellstar Trauma Surgery are dedicated to providing the highest standard of care through personal commitment and teamwork. In order for our patients to fully understand their health and disease process, we take the time to carefully explain the prognosis and treatment protocol. We want our patients to feel comfortable about their surgical decision and the care they will receive.
We are conveniently located next to Wellstar Kennestone Regional Medical Center. A crosswalk from our building to the hospital allows one time parking for patients that need surgical workup after seeing the doctor preoperatively.
