Dr. Domingo E. Galliano is named Medical Director of Bayfront Health's Colorectal Center of Excellence in Port Charlotte.

Charlotte County, FL

Bayfront Health Port Charlotte is the first in the state of Florida to have achieved accreditation as a Colorectal Surgery by Surgical Review Corporation (SRC). A Center of Excellence in Colorectal Surgery accreditation distinguishes Bayfront Health Port Charlotte from many other facilities by providing the highest quality of care to its patients as determined by an independent, external process of evaluation.

We provide minimally invasive, robotic, and laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of gastro-intestinal conditions.

Our up to date medical equipment isused in the testing and treatment of medical and surgical conditions, so most surgery can be performed with minimal discomfort on a out-patient basis, and in some cases, with no incisions.

Robotic Surgery ( Da Vinci ) and minimally invasive surgical procedures result in less pain, less discomfort, and minimal scarring.

Minimally invasive procedures are performed through one or more dime-sized incisions, with much less trauma to the body.

State of the Art Surgical Care

We offer the highest quality care in our state-of-the-art, Medicare accredited, state-licensed surgery center. This avoids treatment in the hospital, reduces cost, lessens pain, scarring and recovery time.
