“The most rewarding aspect of surgery is to be able to improve someone's quality of life,” says Dr. Finnegan. “To be a part of their health care journey, and to see them transform through guidance and a successful operation is extremely rewarding.”
Throughout his educational career, he received numerous awards and honors for his dedication and performance. He specializes in advanced minimally invasive gastrointestinal surgery, including robotic surgery, complex abdominal wall reconstruction, bariatric surgery, and foregut surgery.
“Minimally invasive surgical approaches provide a tremendous benefit to our patients including smaller incisions, less post-operative pain and faster return to work,” “I use robotic surgery for numerous operations such as weight loss surgery, complex hernia repairs, and abdominal wall reconstruction through just three to six small incisions”.
Dr. Finnegan and his wife, Mary, live in Savannah with their French bulldog, Bentley. In his spare time, he enjoys sports, exercise, and traveling.
