He provided the entire spectrum of care for trauma patients and coverage for the Surgical Intensive Care Unit at Holmes Regional Medical Center. In September 2003, Dr. Komar joined Medical Associates of Brevard as an attending surgeon.
Dr. Komar is Board Certified in Surgery and Surgical Critical Care by the American Board of Surgery. His main interests are minimally invasive (laparoscopic) surgery and surgery of the gastrointestinal tract. One of his areas of expertise is laparoscopic repair of complex ventral and incisional hernias which provides the patient with lower recurrence rate, fewer complications and faster recovery. When you are seeing your surgeon in consultation ask him if your operation can be done laparoscopically.
In his time off Dr. Komar enjoys family life, boating and scuba diving.
