Two general surgeons have recently joined the team at OSF HealthCare Holy Family Medical Center in Monmouth, providing surgical services for a variety of areas, explains Director of Perioperative Services Susan Melvin:
“We have two new surgeons that have come to Holy Family, Dr. Andrei Froeling and Dr. Jennifer Schmidt. They have office hours one day a week at the rural health clinic and perform surgeries there at Holy Family. You can have a colonoscopy there, EDG there, some hernia repair, minimally invasive hernia repair; they can take your gall bladder out, and any type of lesion removal. Our anesthesia team evaluates all of the patients prior to their arrival at Holy Family and makes sure this is an appropriate type of surgery to have at that facility.”
Cataract surgeries are also being performed at Holy Family Medical Center on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Appointments for all services can be scheduled by visiting your OSFMyChart, the OSF HealthCare website, or calling the specialty clinic at 309-734-1543.
