Daniel J. Growney, MD has been a full-time General Surgeon and resident of York, NE for the past ten years since relocating from his practice in Kansas.  Along with general surgery, he performs vascular, thoracic and many laparoscopic surgeries.  Dr. Growney serves several other communities as well as York.  Among these include: Henderson, Geneva, Genoa, Albion and David City.  In addition to surgeries that Dr. Growney performs in York and affiliating hospitals, he does various types of minor office procedures utilizing the hospital's out-patient facilities or our office setting in York.  We are pleased that our York office is located in the brand new south addition of York General Hospital.  We have wonderful access to the most "up to date" and "state of the art" equipment.  As his office staff, we understand that when our patients need to come to our office for a visit, that this is not where they would normally choose to be or be doing with their "free time."  However, we try hard to make what could be an unpleasant experience on that's not so bad after all

Dr. Ye has a wide range of expertise that includes Cancer Surgery, Breast Surgery, and Head and Neck surgery including ENT procedures.

YSA now offers endovascular radio frequency venous ablation for Varicose Veins, including perforating veins and even spider veins. Dr. Ye also does Non-Cardiac Thoracic Surgery.

His Otolaryngology training brings ENT capability to some of the smaller hospitals that Dr. Ye will be working at, allowing Myringotomy Tubes and Tonsils and Adenoid surgery, Thyroid, Parathyroid, and minor and major Salivary Gland surgery to be performed where these services were not previously available in the smaller community hospitals.

A more recent addition to York Surgical's offerings is the Mammosite for partial breast irradiation (PBI) following lumpectomy for breast cancer, and YSA already uses state of the art "surgery free" Mammotome vacuum assisted breast biopsy as well as Gamma Probe for sentinel lymph node biopsy (SNLB).
