Experts in minimally-invasive and robotic surgery

For more than 30 years, CAMC has been the state’s leader in minimally-invasive surgery. Our board-certified physicians are recognized leaders who have introduced new surgical methods and perfected minimally-invasive techniques in nearly every type of surgery, including vascular surgery. We recently achieved accreditation as a Center of Excellence in Robotic Surgery by Surgical Review Corporation (SRC), which distinguishes CAMC from many other surgical facilities by providing the highest quality of care to patients and having met nationally and internationally recognized standards.
