Jorge A. Almodovar, MD

Motivated to help others, Dr. Almodovar pursued a career in medicine. He credits his father’s influence through his service to the underserved population with his decision. “Through my father’s example, I was heavily influenced to pursue a career that benefits others. Since I enjoyed sciences, medicine was a natural path for me.”

Dr. Almodovar joined the Eisenhower staff in 2020. He is a skilled general surgeon, specializing in robotic and laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery. His commitment to advanced medical and surgical treatment is evidenced by his training and utilization of the daVinci® Surgical System for robot assisted, minimally invasive surgeries. The daVinci® technology offers a less invasive technique than traditional surgery (open), and allows surgeries to be performed through a few small incisions.  Using the daVinci® Surgery technology allows patients to have less pain, minimal scarring, a shorter hospital stay and faster recovery.  Dr. Almodovar’s fellowship training included advanced robotic, endoscopic and laparoscopic treatment of colorectal and foregut/gastrointestinal cancers and diseases, with a specialization in surgical treatment of bariatric disorders.  “There is nothing more rewarding for me than the satisfaction that I have helped someone regain wellness and improved their quality of life.”
