Dr. Ed Hall Completes His 1000th Robotic Surgery at Archbold

April 28, 2023

The introduction of robotic surgery at Archbold represented a significant step forward in patient care at Archbold. Ed Hall, MD, FACS, CWS, has been a member of the Archbold medical staff since 1986. He was the second Archbold physician to complete a robotic surgery case and never looked back. Two years ago today, on April 28, 2023, Dr. Hall reached a significant milestone–his 1000th robotic surgery.

Dr. Hall, who practices with Archbold South Georgia Surgical, has developed a strong reputation in our community in the last four decades for his attention to detail, compassionate care, cutting-edge outlook, and leadership.

“When I was in college, I got a job working at a hospital as an orderly. I got to see from the inside what medicine looked like, and I made a career change,” Dr. Hall shared. “I saw this as an exciting, interesting field and decided to go to medical school.”

Dr. Hall is originally from Bainbridge. He attended the Medical College of Georgia, where he later served on the faculty. In his free time, he enjoys fly fishing and tying his own flies.

As a leader in cutting-edge medicine, Archbold was an early adopter of robotic surgery. Robotic surgery is an advanced, minimally invasive alternative to traditional open surgery. Unlike open surgery, which often requires large incisions, the da Vinci robotic surgical system helps surgeons perform even the most complex operations through very small incisions, using computer technology and specially designed tools. As a result, patients benefit from faster healing and recovery, fewer complications, less discomfort, minimal scarring, and shorter hospital stays.
