Surgery

Our Integrated Surgical Services Clinic is a referral access clinic that requires a Primary Care Manager to request service through consultation or referral for patients who present with general surgery, thoracic, tele-neurosurgery, and plastic surgery related symptoms or conditions.

Our clinic staff also see emergency general surgery, thoracic, tele-neurosurgery, and plastic surgery cases from outside clinics in the National Capital Region and emergency trauma cases that are cared for at Alexander T. Augusta Military Medical Center (ATAMMC). When appointments are full in the clinic, we refer patients to other military treatment facilities and clinics in the Integrated Delivery System.
