UF Health Surgical Specialists – Shands Hospital
Primary tabs
As a result of the recent Executive Order from the office of the Governor of the State of Florida and out of an abundance of caution and concern for our patients during the current COVID-19 pandemic, we have postponed the scheduling of elective surgeries and procedures until further notice. This helps us minimize the chance of infection for our patients and staff, conserves the use of personal protective equipment and maintains resources for those who might become critically ill in the future. We will resume scheduling elective surgeries and other procedures once the situation improves. Please reach out to your primary health care provider if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you for choosing UF Health Surgical Specialists – Shands Hospital for your health care needs.
Our surgeons are faculty members at the University of Florida, expertly trained and board-certified in general surgery, colon and rectal surgery, pancreatic surgery, pediatric surgery, surgical oncology, transplantation surgery, critical care and trauma surgery.
