Angel Medical Center adds new General Surgeon
Dr. Petricek comes from a residency at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, Texas specializing in General Surgery. Dr. Petricek has specific interest in breast cancer treatment, and laparoscopic procedures.
Dr. Petricek received his undergraduate degree in Chemistry at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, OK and his MD from the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. His research was conducted at Doris Duke Clinical Research at Dallas and also at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. The research included responsibility to work with patients who had congenital generalized lipodystophy (CGL) into a clinical study with the final results showing the cause of CGL.
Dr. Chuck Trentham, AMC Chief of Staff states, “Dr. Petricek is an exciting addition to AMC and our Surgical Services Department. As a result of his residency training at one of the top surgical centers in the US, he brings state-of-the-art surgical procedures, only offered at much larger urban facilities, to Western North Carolina and its patients.”
Paula Alter, AMC Physician Services Executive notes, “We’re very pleased that this excellent general surgeon has selected Angel Medical Center to begin his career. The decision of Dr. Petricek to join our medical staff is evidence of AMC’s attractiveness to such a sought after physician. Both Dr. Petricek and his wife, Belinda, were also very attracted to the Franklin area, and wanted our community to be their new home.”
Dr. Petricek will be joining Dr. Gilberto Robles as a General Surgeon in mid-July.
