• We provide non-invasive surgery. Non-invasive simply means the body is not invaded or cut open as during surgical investigations or therapeutic surgery. Up until the last several decades, exploratory surgery was routinely performed when a patient was critically ill and the source of illness was not known. In dire cases, the patient's thorax, for instance, was surgically opened and examined to try to determine the source of illness. Diagnostic imaging was first performed in 1895 with the discovery of the x-ray. For the first time, physicians could see inside the body without having to perform exploratory surgery. Thus, diagnostic imaging is a "non-invasive" way to examine internal organs and structures.
