Surgical Associates of North Texas is a solo practitioner general surgery practice in McKinney, TX, that strives to provide their patients with the highest quality treatment tailored to their individual needs. At its convenient location in the Stonebridge area of McKinney, Surgical Associates of North Texas combines advanced techniques with over a decade of clinical experience so that it can bring an exceptional level of surgical skill when performing both complex and simple procedures. Surgeries commonly done by us include laparoscopic inguinal, umbilical, ventral, and incisional hernia repairs, colon resections for diverticular disease, laparoscopic cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal), soft tissue surgeries involving excision of lipomas, sebaceous cysts, and lymph nodes, thyroid surgery, removal of skin cancers including melanoma, management of pilonidal disease, as well as diagnostic laparoscopy to help diagnose and treat abdominal/pelvic pain caused by adhesions.
Dr. Scott deVilleneuve, MD, FACS, is the owner and practicing surgeon at Surgical Associates of North Texas where he has worked since moving to McKinney in 2004. His practice is completely elective, meaning that you never have to worry that your surgery or clinic appointment will be delayed or canceled by an unexpected “emergency room” case. This also allows us a great deal of flexibility in scheduling new patient appointments, as we are able to schedule new patients every day Monday thru Friday and can always offer either same or next day appointments. With our location right off of Custer Road just South of Eldorado Parkway, we welcome patients throughout the McKinney/Frisco/Allen/Prosper areas and accept most major medical insurance plans.
