Iredell Physician Network, part of Iredell Health System, has opened a new general surgery practice in Statesville. The new facility, Iredell General Surgery, will be led by Dr. Richard A. Cheek III, who will begin seeing patients aged 14 and older at the E. Broad Street location by mid-October.
Dr. Cheek holds an undergraduate degree from the University of Georgia and completed medical school at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine. He finished his residency in general surgery at Allegheny Health Network in Pittsburgh and is board certified in general surgery as well as certified in DaVinci robotic surgery.
Cheek explained his approach to patient care: “I am a straight shooter and will speak plainly without using confusing or unnecessary medical jargon,” he said. “My job is to share what I have learned with my patients regarding disease pathology, treatment options, and risks and benefits, then determine the best treatment plan together.”
He stated that his main goal for patients is to address their health issues quickly while minimizing risk.
Iredell General Surgery is currently accepting new referrals. The practice is located at 1540 E. Broad Street, Suite A, Statesville, NC 28625.
