Judy Tintzman's Company Details

The physicians of North Valley Surgical Associates have more than 30 years experience among them in all areas of general surgery. Whether a primary care physician refers you or you have chosen North Valley Surgical Associates on your own, you will receive the same high quality care. In most cases your initial meeting with the surgeon will be a consultation in the office. You and the surgeon will discuss potential courses of treatment and their consequences. Additional pre-surgical testing may be required. If you and the physician determine that surgery is your best course of treatment, our office staff will coordinate with other members of your health care team—in particular, your primary care physician and insurance provider. Whether your surgery is done on an outpatient basis or you are admitted to the hospital, the surgeon will direct your post-surgical care. If you are hospitalized, expect to see the surgeon daily until you are discharged. If you are not admitted to the hospital, you will be asked to call the office to schedule a postoperative office appointment. The surgeons of North Valley Surgical Associates will keep your primary physician apprised of all relevant information concerning your procedure so that it can be entered on your patient record.
