Confronting the challenges and confusion in modern
healthcare is often daunting for many patients. Dr.
Jonathan Yunis is a board-certified surgeon in a
solo practice who focuses on making his patients
happy. His expert office personnel are sensitive
to the problems that patients encounter. Access
for appointments is enhanced and questions are
answered with confidence. The philosophy at
Center for Hernia Repair is “we put ourselves in
the patient’s place.”
Dr. Yunis specializes in hernia surgery and abdominal
wall reconstruction. A national database reveals
that he currently performs more abdominal wall
and hernia operations than anyone else in the
country. He performs over 650 operations annually
and limited his practice to hernia and abdominal
wall surgery over 15 years ago. As a former vascular surgeon, Dr.
Yunis is experienced in performing technically complex surgeries.
His patients come from all over the country with complex hernias.
Many have undergone several failed operations and come here
for the expertise that Dr. Yunis can provide.
Dr. Yunis has traveled extensively to observe and work with other
experts in his field all over the world. His pursuit of ongoing
knowledge allows for confidence in decision making in the office
and surgical success in the operating room. All technologies are
offered including laparoscopic and robotic approaches. Robotic
hernia repairs utilize tools that can mimic the human hand through
1-inch incisions. Dr. Yunis has made it his mission to be expert at
all options. This allows a unique solution for each patient’s case.
A 40-year-old triathlete and an 82-year-old golfer with the same
type of hernia will often benefit from two different operations
and anesthetic options.
Dr. Yunis understands the physical and emotional distress that goes
along with complex and recurrent hernia problems. Not only do
many experience pain but they also have extraordinary cosmetic
deformity that requires attention. Many larger and advanced hernias
can be cured while emphasizing improved cosmetic outcomes.
Doctor Yunis offers abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) to his patients
at the same time as their hernia repair. “Patients are thrilled with
their new life and appearance after these operations,” he said.
“All options are offered and sometimes observation without
intervention is the best answer for patients.”
