Acute Care, Trauma and Critical Care Surgery at North Texas Surgical Specialists
Acute care surgery is general surgery in an emergency setting focusing on the abdomen along with any other emergency needs.
Trauma surgery and critical care is a surgical sub-specialty that focuses on the operative and non-operative multidisciplinary care of patients involved in traumatic events such as motor vehicle collisions, gunshot and stab wounds, falls, and burns. This is typically performed in an emergency setting and requires precise and quick decision-making skills to provide optimal patient care.
Using the advanced da Vinci® Surgical System, our surgeons skillfully manipulate robotic arms and wrists with extraordinary precision and dexterity. In addition, the system’s 3-D magnification and visualization technology provide our acute care surgeons in Fort Worth, TX with unparalleled views of structures inside the body.

PatientDr Jay Patel performed two surgeries on me the first surgery was a fundoplication and a second surgery was a hiatal hernia repair. I am able to actually drink water now and not get heartburn and not have it come up through my nose. You listened to what I had to say about what my problem was and able to fix with no other doctor would do they just kept overlooking everything so once again I want to tell you thank you so very much this is a big change in my life after going through this for so many years.
