Geneva General Hospital has added a general surgeon whose specialties include surgical treatment of breast cancer, melanoma and soft tissue tumors.
Dr. Nicholas Ullman, a board-certified general surgeon with fellowship training in surgical oncology, has joined the hospital’s medical staff, according to University of Rochester Medicine Finger Lakes Health. He will see patients at Geneva General Surgical Associates and perform surgery at Geneva General Hospital.
Ullman also performs a broad range of general surgery procedures. His practice will be based at 200 North St., Suite 203, in Geneva, where he joins Drs. Kristin Baltazar-Ford, Craig Collins and Mark Ilko, along with Carrie Kime, a family nurse practitioner and registered nurse first assistant.
Surgical training and research plans
Ullman earned his medical degree at SUNY Downstate College of Medicine in Brooklyn and completed his general surgery training at the University of Rochester.
He then completed the Donald L. Morton Complex General Surgical Oncology Fellowship at Providence Saint John’s Cancer Institute in Santa Monica, California.
He also holds a master’s degree in clinical investigation from the University of Rochester. Finger Lakes Health said Ullman plans to help expand opportunities for patients to participate in clinical trials and gain access to emerging treatment options.
