                      General and Bariatric Surgeon Join the Medical Staff at Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center

                      8/22/2024

                      PinaPOPLAR BLUFF, MO -- Bariatric, Foregut and General Surgeon Luis Pina, M.D., has joined the medical staff of Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center.

                      “I’m looking forward to working at PBRMC because its goals align with my principles as a surgeon: treating the community and providing the best care to patients,” Dr. Pina said. “Having completed my surgical training in rural Pennsylvania, I know the need for excellent care in rural areas and the challenges of practicing surgery in remote locations. PBRMC offers the resources and commitment to deliver the best care for the community.”

                      Dr. Pina graduated from Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He completed his general surgery residency in Brazil and practiced as a general surgeon for two years before moving to the United States. In the U.S., he trained in general surgery at the University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPENN) and Geisinger Health System, followed by a fellowship in minimally invasive surgery, bariatrics, and foregut at the same Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, PA. Dr. Pina is board-certified by the American Board of Surgery (ABS).

                      Dr. Pina will join the practice of Regional Physician Services and is accepting new patients. He offers a wide range of surgical services, including procedures for weight loss, acid reflux, hernias, gastrointestinal conditions, and other general surgery procedures, all through laparoscopic and robotic techniques. His areas of expertise include a variety of procedures performed through small incisions, such as weight loss surgeries like gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy; acid reflux-related surgeries, including fundoplications and hiatal hernia repairs; gallbladder, bowel obstruction, and other intestinal surgeries; as well as abdominal wall hernia-related surgeries for inguinal, umbilical, and incisional hernias.

                      In his spare time, Dr. Pina enjoys working out, playing basketball, watching sports, and spending time with his family.

                      “New advances continue to change the practice of medicine and treatment options for our patients,” says Clyde Wood, CEO. “We are delighted to welcome Dr. Pina to our medical staff, expanding the general and bariatric service to our community.”

                      Dr. Pina will maintain office hours Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. He is currently accepting new patients. For more information, visit www.regionalpysisicanservices.com and click on “Providers” or call 573.778.2600.
