General Practitioners

Medical Weight Loss
Take heart, because there’s hope. Wiregrass Surgical offers surgical and non-surgical weight-loss procedures to improve your quality of life. Our techniques are minimally invasive and considered low-risk, safe operations. It is well known that losing weight and keeping it off leads to better health with the potential to drastically improve — or even cure — diabetes and hypertension.
Primary Care
High Cholesterol
Emergency Care
Colonoscopy
At Wiregrass Surgical, our general surgeons enjoy the breadth and the depth that accompany their daily work. From colonoscopy screenings and hernia repair to gallbladder removal and treatment of thyroid, breast and colon cancers, the variety and innovation are unmatched.

Colon Cancer
The great news is that in most cases, colon cancer is preventable . However, many people are anxious about the most effective test for detecting it: colonoscopies. If you keep reading, we promise you’ll feel better about the whole process.
Endoscopy
This screening test helps your surgeon evaluate symptoms of chest pain, nausea and vomiting, heartburn, bleeding and/or trouble swallowing. It can also detect inflammation, ulcers, hernias, and tumors. An upper endoscopy is more accurate than an X-ray for discovering abnormal growths such as cancer and for examining the inside of the upper digestive system. The abnormalities found can sometimes be treated right at the time of the procedure directly through the endoscope.

Ultrasound
“I had an aneurysm discovered by an ultrasound. I was lucky doctors found this early and I underwent an abdominal aneurysm repair at Flowers Hospital performed by Dr. Pfeiffer. The preoperative team made me feel comfortable and confident. After surgery, my primary nurse took charge of my care from the time I reached the floor to discharge. Several months have passed since my surgery and hardly a day goes by that I do not give thanks to God that I indeed have a second chance and a new lease on life. I would be remiss not to share my appreciation of Flowers Hospital, Dr. Pfeiffer and wonderful nurses for the top-notch care.” – Jack Cook
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
An aneurysm is a bulging, weakened section of a blood vessel wall that forms in the aorta, the body’s largest artery that runs from the heart through the chest and down into the abdomen. Repair is needed to prevent rupture and possible death. Treatment for an aneurysm varies according to its severity and size. If a rupture is not imminent, it may be decided to monitor the growth of the aneurysm using ultrasound and CT scans, and attempt to decrease the pressure on the aneurysm using medication to lower the blood pressure. Others, however, may need immediate repair. In some cases, a minimally invasive procedure called Endovascular Aortic Endograft repair may be performed.

General Surgery
Dr. Pfeiffer received his medical degree from UAB School of Medicine in Birmingham in 1999. After medical school, he chose to pursue surgical training and completed his General Surgery residency at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in 2004. He was a Carl G. Evers MD Top Five Surgical Resident of the Year Award winner in 2001 and 2002. He also received the James D. Hardy Department of Surgery Junior Student Teaching Award in 2002.
Gangrene
Always a last resort, amputation is the surgical removal of a body part. This is usually due to irreversible vascular disease/gangrene in a limb, and is done to save a life, or to prevent life-threatening infection. This procedure is performed only if no other options are available.
Vascular Surgery
Following his General Surgery residency, Dr. Pfeiffer chose to specialize in Vascular Surgery at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, TX where he completed a Vascular Surgical Fellowship in 2005.
Robotic Surgery
These are the most common types of procedures our general surgeons routinely perform. You’ll find many listed in the Robotic Surgery section, too, as we now use our state-of-the-art da Vinci robotic system during many procedures.

Plastic Surgeons

Breast Surgery
Laparoscopic Surgery
Laparoscopic surgery: After making several small incisions, your surgeon inserts a video camera and other small instruments to perform the procedure. As your surgeon watches the video imagery on a screen, he or she manually manipulates the instruments. There are some limitations: the video images are only two-dimensional, and the surgical tools may have a limited range of motion — back and forth, up and down — so laparoscopic surgeons use tactile sensations like pressure to maneuver the tools.
Bariatric Surgery
After bariatric surgery your meal portions will be much smaller. This, combined with a new diet will help you...

Skin Cancer

Diabetic Foot Care
Foot Infections
The majority of wounds found in the lower extremities are a direct result of vascular diseases. Dr. Pfeiffer is an expert in the management of complex wounds of the lower extremities and frequently sees venous ulcers, toe and foot wounds, gangrene, diabetic foot infections, and other life- and limb-threatening extremity problems.
