The mass can be sent to a Pathologist for evaluation to confirm that the tissue is not cancer. Contact our surgeons for additional information.

Mountain West Surgical Specialists Reviews
Dr Gates did amazing work. No issues with a quick recovery. All the staff there are great to work with and have helped every step of the way with answers to questions and lend an ear talking into consideration the challenges my family and I have faced during this whole process. I recommend anyone that needs any of their services. Not to mention the hospital nurses have mentioned they have never seen any complications with the work done by Mountain West Surgical. If i have the option to return to them for surgery they have earned my confidence at all levels.
To put it plainly, Jesus and Dr Gates saved my life back in May, 2025 when I had to have emergency surgery and afterwards for my 2nd surgery as well. Dr Gates is a true expert at what he does and he's very personable too. I felt extreme ease in his care and he comes highly reccomended!! PA Montana is also a true gem. You couldn't ask for someone who genuinely cares for her patients the way she does! I REALLY adore her! I'm so happy my care came into the hands of Mountain West Surgical, they are A++++++++!!
I highly recommend Dr. Kaan. My husband was referred to him by his primary physician. Dr. Kaan was very helpful, knowledgeable and made us feel very comfortable.
Dr Gates has done 2 surgeries for me and he is awesome! The first surgery was when I met him at the hospital and I went to him when I found out I needed another surgery. Best choice ever!! Fantastic surgeon and is concerned about the whole patient. He is very caring and patient and has always answered any questions I have. I would recommend him 200%.
Dr. Gates and P.A. Merrick and Dr. Gartener, performed flawlessly. Thank you!!
