When you need surgery, it’s comforting to know that you can have your surgical procedure performed close to home at Samaritan Healthcare. Our General Surgery department specializes in diagnosing and surgically treating a wide range of medical conditions that require scheduled, urgent, or emergency surgery.

Dr. Andrea Matson and Dr. Jordan Smith are our full-time, on-staff general surgeons, and they perform the full range of surgical procedures including hernia surgery, gall bladder removal, and endoscopies. They are highly skilled and trained in a variety of techniques—including traditional and minimally invasive surgeries—to perform procedures for both common and complex conditions. Dr. Matson and Dr. Smith provide total patient care throughout a patient’s surgical experience—from clinic appointments and initial diagnosis, to performing surgery, and their progress through recovery.

They also enjoy talking to their patients and putting them at ease, even while discussing the surgery they need to become well or that will assist them in having a healthier life.

Dr. Matson and Dr. Smith performed a wide variety of surgical procedures during their five-year General Surgery residencies at Mountain Vista Medical Center–Steward Health Care in Mesa, Arizona.
