Services of the practice include, but are not limited to: hernia surgery, gallbladder removal, biopsies, appendix removal, colon and small bowel resection, hemorrhoid surgery, and rectal tumor/polyp excision. The new PA will work in the inpatient setting, outpatient clinic, surgical centers, and have on-call duties. The details of this include: In the inpatient setting, providers round on 5 to 8 patients per day. In the outpatient setting, providers have an average of 5 appointments per day and work short days.

The new PA will work collaboratively with the surgeon and serve as first assist, and will have autonomous practice in the clinic. The PA will be on-call every five (5) weeks.
