Dr. Mapes believes that there is “no routine surgery”, and we take every precaution to ensure our patients’ safety throughout the entire procedure and during recovery.Pain control is also a major concern, and our patients are given medications before, during, and after surgery to minimize discomfort.Combined with the laser, our patients have the greatest pain control possible.
Dr. Mapes enjoys surgery, and has taken multiple post-graduate training courses to stay on the cutting edge of the art.One of his hospitals in Michigan was a referral surgical center for neighboring hospitals. We do complex surgical procedures such as intestinal anastomoses, urethrostomy, luxating patella transposition, anterior cruciate ligament repair, and endodontic procedures. Our laser allows us to perform procedures such as overlong palate resection, stenotic nares, and everted laryngeal saccular resection, and anal sacculectomy that are much more difficult with traditional equipment.
