Gallstones Specialist

What are Gallstones?

Gallstones are hard deposits of matter than can form in your gallbladder. The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ on the right side of your abdomen. Gallstones can come in many sizes, from the size of a piece of sand to a golf ball. Depending on your signs and symptoms, gallstone removal may be necessary. For those who don’t experience symptoms, treatment is typically not necessary. However, those who do experience early symptoms of gallstones should seek medical treatment as soon as possible as surgery may be required.
