Erik Stancofski

A Patient-Focused Approach to Surgery

Technical ability is only one part of effective surgical care. Erik believes patients should understand their condition, why a particular treatment may be recommended and what they can realistically expect throughout recovery.

This emphasis on communication complements decades of hands-on surgical experience. From relatively routine procedures to more complicated surgical cases, his goal is to approach each patient individually rather than treating surgery as a one-size-fits-all process.

General & Minimally Invasive Surgery

Advances in surgical technology have created new opportunities to perform certain procedures through smaller incisions. Erik has incorporated minimally invasive and robotic techniques into a substantial portion of his surgical practice.

His areas of surgical experience include:

• Hernia repair

• Colorectal surgery

• Gallbladder conditions

• Skin cancers, cysts and tumors

• Minimally invasive procedures

• Robotic surgery

• General surgical care

Part of the Lewes Community

Erik's relationship with Lewes extends beyond the operating room. After arriving in the community in 1998, he went on to co-found Cape Surgical Associates and later joined Beebe, where his responsibilities eventually included serving as Vice Chair of the Department of Surgery.

Outside of medicine, he maintains an active lifestyle and enjoys swimming, cycling, skiing, motorcycling and travel.
