“I am excited to join the surgical services team at Avita,” comments Dr. Centa. “It is a great opportunity for me to work alongside Dr. Daryl Sander and Dr. Eric Kuivinen, and continue providing outstanding surgical care for patients in this area.”
Dr. Centa earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry from the University of Toledo.

A general surgeon is trained to diagnose and treat a broad spectrum of diseases that may require surgery. They commonly provide surgical treatment to individuals who have conditions of the digestive tract, abdomen (including the esophagus, stomach, bowels, colon, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder), endocrine system, breast, skin, and soft tissue. Dr. Centa also provides thyroid surgery and minimally invasive, laparoscopic surgery.
