“Surgeons have the ability to step in and intervene in a patient’s moment of greatest need and help to restore health,” said Jonathan Gipson, MD, FACS, to explain why he became a surgeon. “At Specialists in General Surgery, we allow our surgeons to focus on patient care in a supportive, friendly environment,” he said. “Here, I am supported by superb staff and surgeon partners.” When he’s not working, Dr. Gipson enjoys spending time with family, summer running, winter skiing, water sports, and reading.
