About Advanced Surgical Associates, SCPhilosophyOur success as general surgeons extends beyond our surgical skills. We believe in treating our patients well -- spending time with them, educating them, and genuinely caring for them. What is General Surgery? As general surgeons, we are specialists who have extensive training and experience in a wide variety of medical conditions. Some of the more common procedures include gall bladder surgery, hernia repair, breast surgery and colon surgery. [services] About the Practice Advanced Surgical Associates is a leading practice of General Surgeons in the Chicago area. We are all board certified and Fellows of the American College of Surgeons. Our training encompasses diagnostic, pre-operative, operative, and post-operative management. If a patient's problem lies outside of our areas of expertise, we obtain appropriate consultation. We always work closely with each patient's primary care physician. We do our best to explain all treatment options, surgical and non-surgical, for a patient's particular problem. We place a high value on educating our patients, and explain all testing and operations so patients can make informed decisions and know what to expect. Advanced Surgical Associates physicians practice out of Alexian Brothers Medical Center in Elk Grove Village, Illinois (a western suburb of Chicago) and Northwest Community Hospital in Arlington Heights, Illinois (a northwestern suburb of Chicago). [locations] The physicians are an integral part of the select trauma team at both hospitals, where they chair numerous hospital committees. They also hold key positions such as Chief of Surgery and Trauma Director. In addition to hospital activities, the physicians are members of the Medicare Advisory Board and officers of the Chicago Chapter of the American College of Surgeons. All of the physicians of Advanced Surgical Associates are board certified and Fellows of the American College of Surgeons. They have been at the forefront of innovative changes in surgery and were the first surgeons to perform laparoscopic cholecystectomies and stereotactic breast biopsies at their hospitals. All of our surgeons continue to update their skills through regular continuing medical education programs, some of which they also teach. [surgeons] It has been said that a truly successful surgeon must be well trained, honest, and most important, be chosen by the operating room nurse to operate on a family member. After nineteen years in practice, the practice's largest referral source continues to be the nurses at their hospitals. There can be no greater compliment to a physician. ASA Surgeons Alan B.
