About Our Rockwall Clinic

Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. New patients typically receive an appointment within the same week of calling.

Surgical Services Offered in Rockwall

Dr. Abbassi handles the full breadth of general surgery cases for our Rockwall patients. Most procedures are performed using robotic-assisted or laparoscopic techniques, which generally mean smaller incisions, less postoperative pain, and faster recovery compared to open surgery.

• Hernia repair in Rockwall — inguinal, umbilical, ventral, incisional, and recurrent hernias, including complex abdominal wall reconstruction.
• Gallbladder surgery — laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallstones, biliary colic, and cholecystitis, typically with same-day discharge.
• Colon and small-bowel surgery — minimally invasive resection for diverticulitis, colon cancer, and bowel obstruction.
• Reflux and hiatal hernia surgery — surgical treatment for chronic GERD and paraesophageal hernias.
• Breast surgery — lumpectomy, partial mastectomy, and sentinel lymph node biopsy.
• Skin cancer and soft-tissue surgery — excision of suspicious lesions, melanoma surgery, lipoma and cyst removal.
• Adrenal surgery — robotic adrenalectomy for adrenal tumors and hormone-secreting growths.
• Emergency general surgery — appendicitis, perforated ulcers, incarcerated hernias, and other acute surgical conditions.

Robotic and Minimally Invasive Surgery

For most of the operations Dr. Abbassi performs, a minimally invasive approach is the standard. Robotic-assisted surgery adds three-dimensional visualization, wristed instruments with greater dexterity than the human hand, and tremor filtration — all of which translate into more precise tissue handling and suturing. Laparoscopic surgery uses similar small-incision principles without the robotic platform and remains the right choice for many cases.

Patients in Rockwall do not need to drive to a metropolitan hospital to access this level of surgical technology. Procedures are performed at affiliated facilities in the region, with consultations and follow-up handled at the Rockwall clinic.
