WELCOME TO BOSTON GALLBLADDER

Our focus is on the care of patients with gallbladder disease. This has allowed us to provide the highest quality of care in evaluating,  educating, and considering surgery as well as before, during, and after surgery in those who need laparoscopic cholecystecomy.

Unlike most general surgeons who perform a range of procedures we decided to specialize in just a couple areas of care. The result is superior outcomes for our patients.

 

Here are three things you should know about Boston Gallbladder:

 

  • Our clinical team will give you the time you need and answer all your questions.
  • We focus on providing the highest level of care in the treatment of gallbladder disease, specializing in laparoscopic cholecystectomy to ensure the best outcomes possible
  • You’ll feel confident knowing that your surgeon specializes in gallbladder surgery—and has a proven track record of refining both the surgical technique and the care that patients receive.

 

DR. FULLINGTON EXPLAINS WHAT CAUSES GALLBLADDER SYMPTOMS

Gallbladder symptoms are the result of dysfunction of the gallbladder often involving the development of gallstones. We specialize in the care of patients with gallbladder disease to allow our focus to remain on promoting the best possible experience and outcomes for our patients.

 

 

LEARN ABOUT RECOVERY AFTER LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY

 

We perform minimally invasive surgery to remove the gallbladder for patients with gallbladder disease. It is good for patients to be as active as possible after surgery, while being careful to avoid any activity that causes pain at the incisions. Pain is managed mostly with tylenol and ibuprofen and patients ususally get back to eating a normal diet within a couple weeks of surgery. 

 

PATIENT EXPERIENCE

1052 Gallbladder Surgery
OUR FACILITIES

Boston Gallbladder is a focused surgical practice within the Boston Hernia family located in Wellesley, MA, less than a mile from Newton-Wellesley Hospital, just outside of Boston. When Dr. Fullington joined in May 2021, she brought laparoscopic expertise in hernia and gallbladder disease. We provide care for patients throughout New England, including New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Maine, Connecticut, and Vermont.

PATIENT OUTCOMES

Our clinic exists so we can help patients find clear-cut answers to their gallbladder diagnosis and care without having to experience the frustration of being another number on a surgeon’s agenda. We continually strive to make an impact on the lives of our patients and help them return to all the things they love.

MEET OUR TEAM

We bring surgical decision making to the patients. The team at Boston Gallbladder practices a collaborative approach emphasizing the importance of spending more time with each patient, examining, educating, and discussing treatment options. We’re focused on having a medical provider be the contact at every point of care.
