Founded by David Blass, MD, FACS in 1977, Laurel Ridge Surgical Associates has grown to include four more surgeons and a full roster of medical and cosmetic surgical procedures. The doctors consult closely with primary physicians and patients, and pore over x-rays, lab-work results, and middle-school diaries to determine the most effective course of treatment. Whether performing vascular, abdominal, or breast surgery, the surgeons pride themselves on using minimally invasive techniques, such as removing a gallbladder with just three tiny incisions.
