About Danilo Decio, MD, MBA
Precision surgery, with a personal touch.
Surgery is more than a technical procedure; it is a pivotal moment in your health journey. Whether you are seeking relief from chronic reflux or requiring a complex abdominal reconstruction, you deserve a surgeon who balances advanced technical mastery with a calm, approachable bedside manner.
As a specialist in bariatric, foregut, and robotic minimally invasive surgery, I partner with Dr. Shaw to provide South Florida with a standard of care where the patient always comes first. From your initial consultation to your final post-operative visit, I am the surgeon who will be by your side.
A philosophy of precision & safety
In the operating room, I utilize the latest robotic and laparoscopic platforms. These "keyhole" techniques are designed to help you heal faster, experience less pain, and return to your family and work with minimal disruption.
While I am a proponent of modern technology, my primary commitment is to your safety. I approach every surgery with a deliberate plan: favoring minimally invasive techniques whenever possible, but never hesitating to use traditional open methods if they offer a safer or more reliable outcome for your specific needs.
Why patients trust Dr. Decio
- Multilingual care: I am proud to serve our diverse South Florida community in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. Being able to discuss medical decisions in your native language ensures nothing is "lost in translation" when it matters most.
- Plain-language communication: Medical jargon can be overwhelming. I make it a point to explain every procedure in clear, everyday terms so you can feel confident and empowered in your decision-making.
- Personal presence: Patients often describe me as "calm under pressure." Beyond the OR, I prioritize personal post-operative visits to ensure your recovery is progressing exactly as it should.
