Northern Light Mercy General Surgery

Northern Light Mercy Surgery is made up of some of Maine’s most accomplished surgeons who are focused on providing the best possible outcomes and patient experience. Our patients are seen as a whole person, not as an illness. Patients receive 24/7 access to dedicated, highly skilled, board-certified surgeons; a personalized treatment plan that utilizes the most advanced surgical techniques and non-surgical treatments; and private hospital rooms for recovery.

We offer surgeries and procedures for acute problems, including both simple and highly complex hernias, gallbladder disease, bowel obstruction, diverticulitis, and appendicitis. We also provide state of the art surgical treatment for cancers of the digestive system, including colorectal cancer and esophageal cancer, as well as skin cancers such as melanoma. Our providers have extensive experience in minimally invasive techniques, which are employed whenever possible.

We also offer evaluation and treatment of varicose veins due to chronic venous insufficiency. While the vast majority of patients obtain treatment, including endovenous ablation and phlebectomy (removal of varicose veins), in the office setting, we offer seamless access to Mercy Hospital’s interventional radiology and wound care services for patients who have severe or complex venous insufficiency.
