Surgical services

	Park Nicollet general surgeon Kevin Ose, MD, and physician assistant Tami Johnson, PA-C.

Every year, more than 15 million people in the U.S. have surgery. Some operations are performed to relieve or prevent pain, reduce symptoms, improve a body function or save a life. Other surgeries, such as a biopsy, are done to find a problem. Many advances in surgery techniques and technology in recent years have improved outcomes, reduced the size of incisions and scars, and reduced recovery times.
