About Me
Dr. Aurora treats patients for surgical problems involving the abdominal cavity (hernias, gallbladders, colon cancer, etc.). He specializes in bariatric surgery for weight loss. He has significant interest in surgical technology and improving patient care and safety. He takes a compassionate, personalized care approach.
"I sit down with every patient that comes into my office individually and talk to them about their problem and then try to make a specific plan for them," he says.
He adds: "I think the advantage of my care is that I usually use a very minimally invasive pathway for surgery, and that usually allows less pain, quicker recovery and excellent outcomes."
Dr. Aurora has been a part of the care team at University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Medical Center since 2011. He is director of advanced minimally invasive surgery and bariatrics.
More than 95% of the procedures Dr. Aurora performs are laparoscopic in nature, including ventral, inguinal and hiatal hernia repair; cholecystectomy; colon resection; and bariatric procedures. He is the only surgeon in the region who performs his own upper endoscopies and colonoscopies on a regular basis.
In addition to being fluent in English and French, Dr. Aurora speaks some German and Romanian.
