Surgical Associates of Western New York is one of Buffalo’s largest general surgery practices with convenient office locations in West Seneca, Kenmore, and Derby. Our team of surgeons:
Rurik Johnson, MD, FACS

Our practice offers a wide range of surgeries and procedures, including minimally invasive surgery, SILSTM (Single-Incision Laparoscopic Surgery), robotic-assisted surgery, complex hernia repair, and operations using the latest implant devices, to name just a few.
We also provide in-office hemorrhoid treatment, which takes only a few minutes and requires no anesthesia.
Surgical Associates uses infrared coagulation to treat painful hemorrhoids. During the procedure, the hemorrhoid is hit with bursts of infrared light from a probe. This causes the blood vessels supplying the hemorrhoid to coagulate, and ultimately blood flow is cut off and the hemorrhoid shrinks.
This in-office, non-surgical procedure is virtually pain-free and only takes a few minutes. No anesthesia is required, and patients experience a fast recovery. The results are excellent.
