            [0] => Dr. Brian Kwitkin, board-certified general surgeon, arrived at Monadnock Surgical Associates in 2023, and he is already having a positive impact on our community, and on the lives of people like Hiyam Makarios.

When the former high school teacher from Rindge became concerned by a painful bulge in her belly, she went to the Emergency Department at Monadnock Community Hospital. Our expert team diagnosed her with an umbilical (or belly button) hernia and referred her to Monadnock Surgical Associates.
“Dr. Kwitkin’s temperament was so calming which gave me confidence that I was in great hands. He showed me exactly what my condition was, explained how he was going to fix it, and answered all of my questions,” Hiyam says.
One benefit of having her surgery close to home was that Hiyam had connections to members of her care team. She explains, “One of the nurses is the mother of a former student of mine!” And she made new connections. “It turned out that my anesthesiologist is originally from Canada, just like me, so we were able to converse in French.” Hiyam praises the entire team for her exceptional care. “It’s because of Dr. Kwitkin and his nurses that I have been able to strengthen my stomach muscles and return to my normal life. Everything was perfect and I am proud to say Dr. Kwitkin was my surgeon.”

“Everything was perfect and I am proud to say Dr. Kwitkin was my surgeon.”
