CANANDAIGUA – All three of the general surgeons employed by UR Medicine Thompson Health will soon be under one roof, in a new location.
Effective Monday, Feb. 18, Advanced Surgical Services will open in Suite 305 on the third floor of the Thompson Professional Building, located at 395 West St. on Thompson’s main campus in Canandaigua. Seeing patients there will be Dr. A. David Peter, Dr. Joseph Talarico and Dr. Thomas Wormer.
Peter and Wormer previously practiced at the Canandaigua Medical Group, which became part of Thompson Health last year. The new suite shared with Talarico offers a second procedure room, allowing for more office procedures. In addition, its proximity to Thompson’s Operating Room and Ambulatory Procedures Center in the adjacent Thompson Hospital will mean enhanced availability of the surgeons. The move is expected to make for more convenient, streamlined scheduling as well.
As a result of the move, the three surgeons are increasing the availability of screening and diagnostic endoscopy for their patients.
Other procedures include:
- Robotic hernia repair
- Robotic and laparoscopic gallbladder, stomach, bowel and colon surgery
- Hemorrhoid and fissure treatment
- Breast surgery for cancer and benign diseases
- Temporal artery biopsy
- Wound care, abscess and soft tissue foreign body care
- Advanced abdominal wall reconstruction
- Vasectomy
- Skin cancer lesions
- Pilonidal disease treatment
- Port placement
Dr. Paul Whitehead, a general surgeon in private practice and member of Thompson’s medical staff, remains in his current location on West Street in Canandaigua.
