🌟 Spotlight on Dr. Langan: Innovative Treatments for GERD and Hiatal Hernias 🌟
We are thrilled to highlight Dr. Langan's expertise in treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and hiatal hernias. 🩺

Key Insights from Dr. Langan:
Latest Surgical Techniques:
• LINX® Reflux Management System: A flexible ring of magnetic beads implanted around the lower esophagus to prevent acid reflux while allowing normal swallowing.
• Nissen Fundoplication: The most common surgical procedure for GERD, where the top part of the stomach is wrapped around the lower esophagus to create a new valve and prevent acid reflux.

Benefits of Acid Reflux Surgeries:
• Immediate relief from reflux symptoms.
• 85% of patients come off acid reduction medication.
• 95% report improved quality of life! 🌟
• 99% of regurgitation improves after surgery

Robotic Surgery for LINX & Hiatal Hernia Repair:
• Reinforces the barrier muscle.
• Hiatal Hernia is repaired during both of these techniques.
• Reduces pain and recovery time. 🦾💪

About Dr. Langan: Dr. Langan is board certified in general surgery and operates in South Charlotte area hospitals and surgery centers. He sees patients for consultations in our conveniently located Pineville clinic. Dr. Langan is highly skilled in the treatment of foregut disorders. Fun Fact: Dr. Langan is a military veteran!

When Dr. Langan isn't seeing patients and operating, he's busy being super dad to his three awesome kids and spending quality time with his wonderful wife who is also a physician! Can you say “power couple”?!

In his minimal free time, Dr. Langan transforms into a tennis ace, a guitar hero, and a movie aficionado! Whether he's perfecting his serve on the court, jamming out to his favorite tunes on the guitar, or catching the latest blockbuster, Dr. Langan knows how to make the most of his time away from his dedicated surgical practice! 🎾🎸🎬

Dr. Langan's commitment to patient care and cutting-edge treatments is truly inspiring! 🙌

Thank you, Dr. Langan, for your insights and expertise!

Amy is our April Employee Spotlight 💡- Check her out!

Amy has been a valued member of SSC for an impressive 24 years. In her role as a float team member, she brings versatility, experience, and a positive attitude to everything she does. No two days are ever the same—whether she’s working in referrals, covering the front desk, or assisting in medical records, each day is a new adventure. Her ability to adapt and step in wherever needed makes her an essential part of the SSC team.

Her dedication to our patients shines through in every interaction. She supports them by being mindful, respectful, and a great communicator—always taking the time to listen and ensure they feel cared for. As a teammate, Amy shows up each day with a can-do attitude and a good sense of humor, helping to create a positive and collaborative work environment.
What she enjoys most about her job is the flexibility it offers, the constant opportunity to learn new things, and the chance to work alongside a great group of people. Outside of work, she’s all about the sunshine. A true lover of the outdoors, warm weather, and summertime, she thrives when she can be out enjoying the sun. ☀️

A note from her manager:
Amy has been a bright light at SSC for over 20 years, bringing laughter, positivity, and an infectious smile wherever she goes. She has a unique gift for making people feel at ease, and her genuine, caring nature shines through in every interaction, especially with our patients, who love her sincerity and warmth. Her presence instantly lifts the atmosphere, and staff across SSC are always thrilled to hear that Amy will be assisting at their site.

Whether she’s helping patients navigate appointments or discussing financial matters, Amy approaches every conversation with kindness, patience, and understanding. She’s not only a joy to work with but also a true team player who makes everyone’s day a little brighter, including mine. As her manager, I can confidently say that Amy makes my job easy. She consistently lives out our Core Values and sets a beautiful example of what it means to be part of the SSC family.
