Dr. Ihor Zakaluzny has joined Payson Regional Medical Team as a general surgeon.
Dr. “Zak” is now part of Payson Surgery Associates located at 126 E. Main St. The doctor left a busy practice in rural Garrett County in western Maryland, with similar demographics and census to Payson. His particular interest is in gastro-intestinal diseases and endoscopy, including long-term medical and surgical management of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases.
Dr. Zak also has a keen interest in laparoscopic surgery, with significant experience in all types of hernia repairs. The doctor states that he was fortunate to develop his laparoscopic skills at the dawn of minimally invasive general surgery. His previous practice also involved the usual other aspects of general surgical care, including lumps and bumps, breast diseases, endocrine disorders, wound care and venous disorders.
