Advanced Surgical Care

Linda M. Bergal, M.D., F.A.C.S.

Dr. Bergal is a board certified general surgeon and has been practicing in Southeast Texas since 2015. Since her arrival, she has helped thousands of patients with a large array of surgical problems.

She is the first surgeon in SETX to perform robotic, minimal invasive: inguinal hernia repairs, gallbladder surgery with ICG guidance, colostomy reversals and colectomies with intraabdominal anastomosis. She has also worked tirelessly to train the operative room staff, inspire colleagues to incorporate this technology into their practice, and encourage the administration to expand access to robotic surgery. By demonstrating her patients’ faster recovery, decreased postoperative pain, and improved outcomes her work has revolutionized surgical care for our patients.

Dr. Bergal also recognizes that the patient experience does not start or end in the OR. She is a strong advocate for enhanced recovery protocol including: patient specific perioperative planning, early return to activity and oral diet, minimizing narcotic use, limiting unnecessary antibiotic use, and early discharge planning. She is committed to helping get you back to your best self.
