His practice is primarily focused on minimally invasive surgery, surgical oncology and he performs complex advanced laparoscopic procedures. He has been instrumental in introducing a wide range of advanced minimally invasive procedures to the hospitals in which he has worked, and continues to "push the envelope" in terms of the use of new technologies and novel approaches to problems in the field of General and Minimally Invasive Surgery.

He is also performing office based ultrasound procedures for the diagnosis and treatment of breast (cancer and benign disease), thyroid, and venous disease including radiofrequency closure of varicose veins.

Dr. Menack is active in the American College of Surgeons as a member of the Ultrasound National Faculty and Imaging Group and an instructor for the American College of Surgeons Intraoperative Ultrasound Course. He has published peer reviewed articles on the use of laparoscopic ultrasound of the biliary tree and pancreas.

he quit practice 10 days before surgery and i could get no further info from staff and canceled surgery. I did not get as much as a call back explaining the situation. Extremely unprofessional and pushed my medical issues back by at least 6 weeks. Would not trust doctor or staff. New practice had no info to give me and was as surprised as i when i contacted them and told me to contact old office. The old office told me point blank we do not work for him any longer and to contact new staff.

I will absolutely return. I had an amazing experience, and they were by far the best I've ever seen. They make sure to treat all their clients equally and without favoritism. I've always hated it when I've seen favoritism going on at other places I've visited. It's nice that it doesn't happen here. I was so impressed with the progress I was able to make after visiting them. All my questions were answered, and I feel a lot more confident and hopeful about the future. The office was very easy to locate. I didn't have any trouble finding it at all.
