About

Dr. George Fall is a general surgeon who has been practicing in Ashland, WI for 31 years. His practice consists of a variety of procedures which include, but are not limited to, in-office carpal tunnel release (open and endoscopic), varicose vein treatments, skin cancer excisions, and breast biopsies. Hospital or surgical center procedures include upper endoscopies, colonoscopies, gallbladder removal, hernia repair, appendectomies, and colon resections. He loves using the Da Vinci Robot when indicated. By owning his own practice, independent of a larger health system, he is able to better tailor care to his patients' needs. This includes cost savings to the patient, and, when appropriate, a higher level of care when necessary to avoid adverse events. The procedure location is determined based first on safety, then to accommodate cost savings and patient comfort. His patients often verbalize their appreciation in the personalized and thorough care they receive.
