Conway, SC General Surgery - Advanced Surgical Associates - Surgical Procedures

Dr. Balder learned early in his training at the Brown University Department of Surgery that laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgical techniques were the way to go for pursuit of optimal patient care.  He has brought these techniques to the state of South Carolina and has been proud to offer, teach, mentor and promote advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques.  His strong committment toward promoting these techniques for patient safety, improved patient outcomes and fast recovery continues to serve as a cornerstone for his practice.  Dr Balder strongly believes that if there is a safe minimally invasive or laparoscopic technique avaliable that will promote these benefits to patient care that patients should come and discuss their needs and desires with he and his staff before settling for old fashion approaches to surgical problems.  If you or your health care team or family have any questions about any of the surgical options below or wish to schedule an initial consultation, please contact us today.  Dr Balder can personally be reached by e-mail to:don.balder@sccoast.  We look forward to providing you with the personalized, quality minimally invasive care that you deserve! 
Unfortunately due to the insurance climate, we do not accept medicare without secondary insurance (this does not include medicaid)  or any medicaid insurance beginning January 1, 2010 for VNUS.  We will not be accepting medicare/medicaid for Bariatrics; we will continue to care for our current patient population. 



Sincerely,

Advanced Surgical Associates
