Specialist and Surgeries

Peace of mind comes from knowing that an experienced team of surgical specialists perform a multitude of successful surgical procedures at Virginia Gay Hospital each year.

Choosing a rural hospital to serve and operate from, speaks volumes about the surgeons who practice at Virginia Gay Hospital. Our team not only possesses impressive technical skills, which you have come to expect from VGH, but also have personalities well-suited for serving a small community. Patients are in good hands with Dr. George Miller’s decades of experience in general surgery.

Many of the common surgical procedures your health care provider orders are available at Virginia Gay Hospital, including general and specialized surgical procedures.

A brand new state of the art surgical suite was recently added to our existing OR suites.
