General Surgery Returns to Springhill Medical Center: A New Era of Expert, Compassionate Care

For several years, general surgery services were unavailable at Springhill Medical Center — a gap that left many patients traveling farther for care they wished they could receive closer to home. In 2025, that changed in a meaningful way with the recruitment of Dr. Eugene Chen, FACS, a highly respected surgeon with more than two decades of experience.

Dr. Chen’s arrival marks a new chapter for Springhill Medical Center. His expertise, paired with the hospital’s top‑notch surgical team, brings confidence to patients seeking high‑quality surgical care. With a philosophy rooted in treating every patient like family, the team ensures that each person feels supported, informed, and genuinely cared for.

A Team Focused on Precision and Personal Attention

When surgery becomes part of your healthcare journey, you deserve more than a procedure. You deserve clarity, confidence, and a team that sees you as a person — not a case number. That’s exactly what patients experience at Springhill Medical Center.

The general surgery team blends advanced techniques with thoughtful, individualized care. From the first consultation to the final follow‑up, patients receive clear communication, thorough evaluations, and compassionate support every step of the way.
