Dr. Lange provides surgical care for people with gallbladder disease, breast cancer, benign (noncancerous) breast disease, colon cancer, benign colon disease and hemorrhoids (swollen blood vessels in the anus).

She works to thoroughly explain the options to each patient so they can work together to find the solution that’s best for them. Dr. Lange always advocates for her patients, so they receive the highest quality health care possible. She says she entered the field of medicine because she enjoys having a career that involves lifelong learning.

Outside of work, Dr. Lange enjoys international travel, working out and planning game nights with her friends.

I enjoy being able to help people feel better. Being a general surgeon allows me to help fix an immediate problem for my patients.
