Get to know General Surgeon Dr. Merab Boter, who serves patients in New York. 

Dr. Boter has been practicing general surgery since 1970. With a passion for his profession, he has developed successful practices in many areas of his field, including gastrointestinal surgery, hernia repair surgery, gallbladder surgery, trauma surgery, and vascular surgery, among others. When minimally invasive procedures began emerging throughout Europe and the United States,  laparoscopic gallbladder removal was one of the first such procedures that started the “revolution in surgery” in the early 1990’s. Dr. Boter was the first to implement this procedure in his hospitals in 1991. Also, he was one of the first surgeons in the country to perform laparoscopic hernia repair in 1993 and ended up sharing his experience with other surgeons in the region and abroad.
