Patti Lyons in the middle of a lavender field.

Patti Lyons, 61, of Doylestown, is the proud owner of Peace Valley Lavender Farm. Five years ago, she received a diagnosis of rectal cancer. Today, she is sharing her story of healing. Patti says the compassionate care she received and the special connection she formed with her colorectal surgeon played an equally important role in her decisions to receive her care at Doylestown Hospital. "You don't appreciate how important it is to have this level of expertise and service close by until you need it," says Patti. 

Doylestown Hospital recently earned a three-year accreditation from the National Accreditation Program for Rectal Cancer (NAPRC), a quality program of the American College of Surgeons. Only four hospitals in Pennsylvania hold this prestigious distinction, and ours is the only one in Bucks County.

Our general surgeons are performing more complex abdominal surgeries using tiny incisions with the Intuitive da Vinci® Surgical System. The robotic platform enhances precision and dexterity, while offering a superior, 3-D immersive view so your surgeon can manipulate tissue and place sutures (stitches) in hard-to-reach areas of the body. Tiny incisions mean less pain, less scarring, shorter hospital stays, and a faster recovery.
