General Surgery

At Tidelands health, our general surgeons combine compassionate care with surgical expertise. Our surgeons provide a personalized approach and perform a wide range of procedures, many of them minimally invasive with smaller incisions and shorter hospital stays.

Choose Your Preferred Hospital for Surgery

Typically, you can choose whether to have your surgery at Tidelands Waccamaw Community Hospital or Tidelands Georgetown Memorial Hospital, since most of our surgeons perform procedures at both locations. Select the facility that’s the most comfortable and convenient for you.

Robotic-Assisted Surgery

Depending on your medical condition, you may be a candidate for robotic-assisted surgery, which allows our team of experienced, specially trained surgeons to perform procedures using smaller incisions and with more precision than traditional surgical approaches.
