For more than half a century, Elgin Surgeons, Ltd. has continuously provided innovative surgical solutions to patients in the Greater Fox Valley area. The practice was established by Douglas R. Morton, M.D, FACS. Under Dr. Morton's direction the practice provided surgical services across the entire spectrum of General Surgery with a concentrated focus on Surgical Oncology, the surgical treatment of cancer. In that tradition, we continue to have a dedicated commitment to the uncompromising care of patients with cancer. Dr. Joseph Michelotti merged his practice with Dr. Morton. in the 1980's and Dr. Michael Michelotti joined the practice in 1987.

Dr. Joseph Michelotti and Dr. Michael Michelotti were among the first surgeons nationally to usher in the revolutionary use of video laparoscopic techniques to perform major abdominal surgery. The practice has continuously stayed in the vanguard of minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of most intra-abdominal conditions, such as colon and rectal disease, other intestinal and digestive disorders, hernias, vascular conditions and cancer. The services provided by the practice also include laparoscopic and minimally invasive bariatric surgical techniques.
