About Us

The Palm Beach Digital Surgery Institute specializes in minimally invasive treatment options for patients suffering from colorectal disease, endometriosis and life-threatening obesity.

The Institute is led by Eduardo Parra-Davila MD, FACS, FASCRS, a worldwide leader in robotic surgery. Dr. Parra brings more than 30 years of experience to the care of patients, and is known for a robotic surgical approach that often avoids the need for open surgery, instead operating through very small incisions. This approach minimizes infection, pain and recovery times.

Having performed more than 2,000 robotic surgeries to date, Dr. Parra is passionate about education of other surgeons in this technique saying, “I feel that I have to give back what I was given once.” Dr. Parra is equally committed to personalized care of his patients. “My take on it is, you can always be on the other side.”
