When Surgery Becomes a Healing Choice

If you are living with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and treatments such as antibiotics, biologics, or hormone therapy haven’t brought you the relief you need, surgery may provide a more lasting solution.

Our surgeons take the time to understand your overall health, the severity of your symptoms, and how you’ve responded to previous treatments to determine whether surgery is the right option for you.
