MRMC Welcomes New General Surgeon
10/24/2023
MOBERLY, Mo. (Oct. 24, 2023) – Moberly Regional Medical Center (MRMC) Chief Executive Officer Michael Hall has announced that Saeed Arefanian, M.D., has joined the MRMC medical staff. Dr. Saeed Arefanian is trained to manage a broad spectrum of surgical conditions and provides preoperative, operative and postoperative care.
Dr. Arefanian’s services include minimally invasive surgery, robotic surgeries, endoscopy and more. Robotic surgery is similar to laparoscopic techniques, in which small incisions are made near the surgical treatment area. From a console in the operating room, the surgeon remotely manipulates surgical instruments, which are attached to robotic arms, to perform surgery through the incisions. A powerful camera provides magnified, 3D images to provide clear details of the surgical area. Robotic technology gives surgeons enhanced dexterity, precision and range of motion. For patients, robotic surgery may offer less pain and scarring, lower risk of infection, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery times.
“I am very excited for the opportunity to provide services at Moberly Regional Medical Center,” Dr. Arefanian said. “I have been in mid-Missouri for the last 10 years, and I am excited to continue practicing medicine here.”
After completing his medical degree at Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Dr. Arefanian did research at Washington University in St. Louis. Dr. Arefanian completed his residency in general surgery at the University of Missouri in Columbia, MO. He is a member of the Association for Academic Surgery, the American College of Surgeons, and the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons.
“We are extremely pleased to have Dr. Arefanian join the Moberly Regional Medical Center medical staff,” Hall said. “Dr. Arefanian will be a great asset to our hospital as he brings with him a vast array of surgical skills and experiences. We are proud to offer this level of knowledge to Moberly and the surrounding communities.”
Dr. Arefanian is accepting new patients at the Moberly Specialty Group clinic, which is located at 1513 Union Ave., Suite 1600 in Moberly. To make an appointment, call 660-269-8752.
