About Us
Surgeons at Weill Cornell Medicine are widely recognized and respected for their expertise and for being at the forefront of advances in the field.
Our surgeons treat a wide range of conditions, adopting and developing advanced methods for the surgical treatment of most abdominal disorders, including hernias, and conditions of the stomach, intestines, gallbladder and spleen.
At Weill Cornell Medicine, we perform repair of hernias, treat patients with surgical emergencies, perform biopsies, and remove growths from different parts of the body. Procedures are frequently performed using minimal access (laparoscopic and endoscopic) techniques.
We use the most advanced innovations, coupled with compassionate care to guide our patients through their individual surgical experiences.

Talking about Rasa Zarnegar, M.D.
"From the front desk everyone was very professional and very polite the place looks great and the doctors are wonderful. I did wait a little bit before I could see doctor Zarnegar but I didn't mind. My only issue was with the room temperature it was a little bit too low but I love the place and I highly recommend it."

"I had a great telehealth visit and will be having surgery on 12/24/20. This doctor made me feel comfortable, answered all my questions and explained my condition in detail in layman’s terms so I could understand it."
