Buffalo located on Lake Erie is home to a host of historic buildings and is one of the most architecturally significant cities in America. The city is renowned for its urban planning and layout by Joseph Ellicott, as well as an extensive system of parks designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and other significant architectural works.
In the past, Buffalo was a leader in industrialization and its early commitment to hydroelectric power gave birth to a wealth of industry and development. Today Buffalo's economy has transitioned to service industries with a greater emphasis on healthcare, research, and higher education, which emerged following the Great Recession. Buffalo has also quietly become a hub for important research, with the University of Buffalo’s faculty researchers leading the charge on genetics, genomics, and bioinformatics.

Cutting-Edge Robotic Surgery at Our Buffalo, NY Facility
Over the last decade, robots have become more commonplace in operating rooms and they offer tremendous benefits for patients and surgeons. Surgical robotics offer many advantages for surgeons, including unparalleled precision due to better visualization of the surgical field and correction for tremors in hand movements and greater maneuverability of instruments. For patients, robotic surgery offers smaller incisions, which means reduced hospital stays, faster recoveries, less pain and blood loss, fewer complications and quicker return to normal activities. The rate of robotic surgeries is increasing by 25% annually.
At Amherst Surgical Associates, PC, we perform a number of surgeries including:
- Abdominal surgery
- Laparoscopic surgery
