Hi. I'm Mark Bartolozzi. I'm a general surgeon at UVA Health General Surgery and I've been a physician in this community for over 30 years. I see all kinds of patients. I see a lot of breast patients. I do a lot of gallbladder surgery, hernia surgery, lumps and bumps. A broad base practice, actually. I'm a good old-fashioned general surgeon. I like general surgery because we do a little bit of everything. But the other thing that's really great about general surgery is that you come to me with a problem, I take out your appendix or your gallbladder or your breast lump, and you're fixed.
I have taken care of breast surgery in this community for over 30 years. I've gotten to know these patients and see them yearly. They become friends. I get to know about their families, their lives, and I find that extremely gratifying. I love my job. I love taking care of the patients and I love learning. I constantly read and stay abreast of things, and I feel like I have a great gift to give people. I think patients should come to UVA because of the patient care that we give here. We listen to our patients. We care about them. We care about their families. We want them to get better.
