Steven L. Kurzweil, MD, FACS

There are few general surgeons in the region who have more experience than Dr. Steven Kurzweil. In his more than 20 years as a surgeon, Dr. Kurzweil has performed more than 10,000 surgeries. Over half of those procedures were laparoscopic surgeries. The more common procedures performed include hernia surgery, gallbladder surgery and appendectomy.

Dr. Kurzweil’s goal is to increase patient benefits by decreasing the size of surgical incisions and increasing the compatibility of synthetic and biological materials used in surgery. These efforts result in less pain; faster recovery; and longer, more positive results.

Dr. Kurzweil is board-certified. He attended Creighton University School of Medicine and completed five years of general surgery training at Saint Louis University Hospital. He has offices in South County and Jefferson County. Patients requiring surgery can be accommodated at a facility close to home, including St. Anthony’s Medical Center, SSM Health St. Clare Hospital and Mercy Hospital Jefferson.
