SAMPA surgeons have a long history of working on the cutting edge of surgery. We were the first to perform a laparoscopic adrenalectomy anywhere in the world! SAMPA completed the first laparoscopic colectomy in 1991, the first laparoscopic gastric bypass in the region in 2001, the first robotic surgery in the region in 2013, among many other firsts. Our specialized services include a full range of weight loss procedures, breast surgery, acid reflux surgery, and colorectal surgery along with other general surgery procedures. The SAMPA team offers minimally invasive options and robotically assisted surgery for many of the complex procedures we perform meaning decreased risk, smaller scars, and less pain for the patient. We would love to help you find better health and are ready to cheer you on along your journey. Our caring and capable team includes Dr. Jeffrey Hannon, Dr. Daniel Lane, Dr. Forrest Ringold, Dr. Dusty Smith, Dr. Barry Ballard, Jr., Dr. Gregory M.

Here’s an inside peek at the day Dr. Ballard made history: first surgery using the da Vinci Surgical System at an outpatient surgery center in Alabama! 🙌

From across the room, Dr. Ballard is in full control of every single move the robot makes, combining precision with innovation. The best part? Patients now have the option for outpatient surgery, meaning less downtime and a quicker return to everyday life.

We couldn’t be more proud of this milestone and what it means for the future of care at SAMPA!

A very happy birthday to Dr. Ballard! 🥳🎂

History has been made! 🚨

The very first surgery using the DaVinci Surgical System at an outpatient surgery center in Alabama has been successfully performed by Dr. Ballard!

This is more than just a first, it’s a milestone. It represents the future of surgery: minimally invasive, highly precise, and designed to get patients back to their lives faster. By bringing robotic-assisted surgery into the outpatient setting, Dr. Ballard and our team are leading the way in making advanced care more accessible and patient-centered than ever before.

We’re thrilled to be part of this history-making moment and even more excited about what it means for the communities we serve. 👏 Congratulations to Dr. Ballard and his entire team!

We had an amazing weekend at the Alabama State Chapter Meeting of the American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery! Dr. Ringold, President of the Alabama Chapter, organized a fantastic event at Perdido Beach Resort.

We’re proud to have had Allison Holland, CRNP, with us and Jessica Colquett, along with Claudia Fantucci, CRNP, participating as well. The focus of the weekend was patient care and advancing treatment options for Alabama residents living with obesity. 💙

It was an inspiring and productive meeting surrounded by dedicated professionals all working toward the same goal, improving lives. 🙌
