Michael M. Maruyama, M.D.

Dr. Maruyama is a founding member of Valley Surgical Specialists. As one of the founders and now the senior member of Valley Surgical Specialists, I have had the privilege and honor of working with the many gifted colleagues on this page. Over the years, they have allowed me to focus primarily on gallbladder and hernia surgeries. I have learned as my focus has narrowed, one can work with more efficiency and facility. The whole joy of the concept of VSS is that we are specialists among ourselves. With over 30 years in practice, I can be true to the principle that surgical care should be based on what I would prefer for members of my own family. Surgical decisions can expeditious and compassionate when that is your standard of care. One must always be a physician first, a surgeon second.
