"With a talent for surgical precision and a passion for helping others, Dr. Marc Simon is improving people’s lives through general surgery. He chose this specialty because of the difference he could make in people’s lives within a relatively short time. He notes: “I like general surgery because many times the procedure can have an almost immediate positive effect.”
Dr. Simon was initially inspired by his father, also a physician, to go into medicine. He even attended the same medical school. Following specialty study in general surgery, Dr. Simon opened a solo practice in 1984. After treating patients there for many years, he joined Vanguard to partner with like-minded physicians who put patients first.
As a general surgeon, he evaluates the need for surgery. It starts with a consultation where he makes recommendations. “Surgery is not the answer for everyone,” he says. “We establish through the initial exam whether surgery can make a difference, and determine the urgency.”
An expert in both robotic and laparoscopic techniques, Dr. Simon regularly performs a range of procedures, including abdominal surgery, breast disease surgery, colon surgery, hernia surgery, and intestinal surgery. He works in both hospital settings and surgery centers."
