Ibrahim Adamu, MD Russell Gornichec, MD KING'S DAUGHTERS' HEALTH has taken great strides in the last several years to bolster its surgical offerings by investing in expert surgeons and advanced surgical techniques. We want to be sure residents of Madison and the surrounding counties have local access to the best healthcare possible. Specialty Skills, General Excellence Though KDH's experienced general surgeons can help patients with a variety of health issues, they have brought unique specialties to our community. Ibrahim Adamu, MD, FACS, is fellowship-trained in colorectal surgery. He focuses on procedures to correct bowel, rectal, colon and spleen issues. Russell Gornichec, MD, specializes in a variety of surgical procedures, and he helps patients with abdominal issues ranging from hernias to reflux to gallstones. Furthermore, these skilled surgeons continue to research and implement advanced surgical techniques. "We perform many minimally invasive surgeries, meaning we use tiny incisions that heal faster than more traditional approaches," Dr. Gornichec says. "We also offer laparoscopic procedures, which are guided by imaging equipment that offers us a better view of the patient during surgery." "We really have it all here," Dr. Adamu adds. "There's no need to travel outside of Madison to find the quality of services we offer." Treating You Like Family KDH's surgical team is deeply committed to maintaining a personal, patient-centric care model. "Direct communication between surgeons and patients is very important for us, and surgeons interact with patients daily, both before and after surgery," Dr. Adamu says. "We also work hard to protect patients' privacy and treat everyone with compassion." "We try to foster a community atmosphere," says Colleen Keith, MSN, RN, CGRN, Director of Surgical Services at KDH. "When you're here, it's like family and friends taking care of family and friends." ■ In need of a surgical solution for your health issue?
