Surgical Associates was founded in 1966 by C. T. Thompson, M.D., W. Dean Hidy, M.D., Lowell Stokes, M.D., and Lester Nienhuis, M.D. Since then, our practice has grown to encompass 11 physicians and more than 25 nurses and support staff. Over the years, Surgical Associates physicians have been instrumental in increasing regional access to surgical care, including quality trauma care and comprehensive cancer treatment.
Surgical Associates also played a defining role in the enormous progress of Saint Francis Hospital, and our physicians have provided leadership to this and other area hospitals on many levels.

Your insurance policy is a contract between you and your insurance company. We are not a party to that contract. Payment is due at the time office services are rendered. You will be provided an itemized statement at the completion of your office visit so that you may file for reimbursement. We will automatically file for all outpatient and hospital services even if your insurance plan is not a plan in which we participate.
Each year, thousands of women seek medical treatment for breast lumps or abnormalities. For many, the diagnosis is a benign breast condition that will have little effect on their lives. But, for others, the diagnosis is breast cancer. It is important to know and understand the different types of breast diseases, what symptoms need to be reported to your doctor immediately, how breast disease is diagnosed, and how it is treated.
