Find a Surgeon In This Institute

New York Methodist Hospital was one of the first surgical teaching hospitals in the United States.  Its Department of Surgery was founded by a pioneer surgeon, Lewis S. Pilcher, who also founded the Annals of Surgery.  The Hospital’s Institute for Advanced and Minimally Invasive Surgery at New York Methodist Hospital continues a proud tradition. 

The Institute offers a range of procedures involving surgical techniques that encompass laparoscopy, endoscopy, robotics and all advanced surgical technologies.  Surgeons on the Institute’s panel specialize in many disease entities and areas; all of them are trained experts in advanced and/or minimally invasive surgical techniques. They include specialists in cardiac surgery, endovascular surgery, thoracic surgery, neurosurgery, urology, orthopedic surgery, laparoscopic surgery and podiatry.  Referrals to these specialists can be made through an individual’s primary care physician or can be requested through the Institute’s referral service.

Physicians and other health care professionals affiliated with the Institute are also available to speak to community groups on a variety of topics related to heart disease prevention and treatment.  Other community outreach activities of the Institute include the distribution of informational materials and screening programs. 

 Experts on the Institute’s panel of Hospital-based and private practice surgeons are available to provide consultative services regarding surgical options for the treatment of disease or disability, or to provide a second opinion for patients who are deciding on a course of treatment.
