EXPERTISE:

Dr. Holley’s surgical scope includes a wide range of general surgery procedures, some of which overlap with bariatric and bariatric-related surgical care:

• Diagnosis and management of cholecystitis and gallstones
• Laparoscopic gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy)
• Umbilical, inguinal, and ventral hernia repairs
• Hiatal hernia repairs (often related to weight/BMI issues)
• Appendectomy
• Bariatric evaluation and related visits (e.g., “Bariatrics New Patient Office Visit”)

Dr. Holley’s practice encompasses many laparoscopic and open abdominal surgeries, which often form part of the care pathway for patients before or after bariatric procedures, though he is formally trained and certified as a general surgeon rather than a narrowly defined bariatric surgery specialist.
