About Birmingham Minimally Invasive Surgery
Some practices treat surgery like a transaction. You come in, something gets done, you leave, and the relationship ends there. That’s the surgical practice Dr. Long set out to build when he opened BMI Surgery in 2006, and nearly two decades later, it’s still not how we operate.
BMI Surgery exists because there was a gap in the Southeast between the quality of surgical care patients needed and what was available to them. Our practice takes minimally invasive techniques seriously enough to make it the standard for every single procedure. We treat every patient as an individual rather than a case number and stay involved long after surgery. That’s the version of surgical care we believe you deserve, and it’s what we show up every day to deliver.
The Practice Patients Travel Across the Southeast For
Here’s what sets BMI Surgery apart from the rest.We serve patients from Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Texas, and Florida, and the reason they travel isn’t because BMI Surgery is the only option. It’s because patients who do their research tend to end up here.
