Robotic-Assisted Surgery

Quality Care in Our Community

Robotic-assisted surgery changes the surgical experience for both doctors and patients, improving precision and shortening recovery times. The da Vinci Surgical System is directly controlled by our trained surgeons, allowing them to perform your procedure with smaller incisions and better visualization than would otherwise be possible. With this robotic platform, Fauquier Health is proud to offer minimally invasive surgical care in our community.
