Klil R Babin, MD

Klil Babin, MD, FACS, is a board-certified general surgeon with Atlantic Medical Group (AMG). She has particular interest in robotic-assisted surgery for complex hernia repairs which, in her experience, result in improved postoperative pain and shorter hospital stays while providing durable and effective repair. Additionally, as a general surgeon, Dr. Babin has been trained broadly in the art of surgery to include procedures ranging from elective soft tissue excisions to larger procedures such as bowel surgery in both the elective and emergency settings. She is well-versed in both minimally invasive laparoscopic as well as open techniques, when appropriate, applied to gallbladder removal, appendectomy, inguinal hernias, among others.

Dr. Babin is certified in robotic surgery, fundamentals of laparoscopic surgery and endoscopic surgery. She strongly believes in a safety-first approach, where a patient’s successful outcome is the number one priority, while also emphasizing patient comfort, pain management and healing times. She emphatically believes in providing patients with the information they need to make informed medical decisions and stresses the importance of working together with patients to optimize recovery and surgical success.
