Hernia Repair at Glacial Ridge Center for Surgical Care
Reduce your risk for complications. Relieve your pain. Recover quickly.
At Glacial Ridge Center for Surgical Care, our surgeons specialize in laparoscopic (small incision) hernia surgeries, which are commonly performed in the inner groin, outer groin, belly button, or upper stomach. Their experience in minimally invasive procedures is nationally known and state-of-the-art.
How do I know if I have a hernia?
You may be suffering from a hernia if you are experiencing the following symptoms.
Pain or discomfort when standing, straining, or lifting
Not able to have a bowel movement or blood in your stool
A bulge on the surface of the abdomen
May develop fever, chills, nausea, or vomiting
A hernia will not go away with exercise, therapy, or time. The longer you wait to repair your hernia, the greater your risk for a potentially serious complication that could cause permanent damage. If you think you may have a hernia, talk to your Glacial Ridge Health System doctor or make an appointment at Glenwood Medical Center.

I was amazed at the care and concern from the staff at GRHS. They kept me updated on what was happening and what was going to happen. The doctors, nurses, and anesthetist were just great. I would highly recommend GRHS.
Beginning January 1, 2019, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services are requiring hospitals and health systems to post their “current, standard charges.”
Hospital charges are the amount a hospital bills an insurer for a service. For most patients, hospitals are reimbursed at a level well below charges. Patients covered by commercial insurance products have negotiated rates with hospitals. Patients covered by Medicare or Medicaid programs have hospital reimbursement rates determined by federal and state governments.
Hospital charges may include bundled procedures, personnel, services and supplies. An example would be room rates that include the space, equipment, nursing personnel and supplies.
When a patient has the opportunity to shop for medical services, he or she should contact his or her own insurance carrier to understand which costs will be covered and which will be the patient’s responsibility.
Patients should contact the hospital directly for any further details.
