Christy Hiser, MD

Dr. Hiser is a general surgeon who treats disease with surgical techniques. She works closely with other physicians to detect conditions that would benefit from a surgical procedure. As a surgeon, Dr. Hiser believes there are many things patients can do to preserve their health, possibly avoid surgery and increase the success of surgery when it is needed. She sees obesity as a major problem for many patients, affecting every part of their health.
