About Cober Hernia
Cober Hernia was started by Dr. Meshach Cober MD, FACS and his wife Betsy Cober RN, BSN to provide high quality care for hernia patients in Palm Beach County, FL.
Dr. Cober completed his surgical training in 2016 and worked for years as a general and emergency surgeon. After working in so many different aspects of surgery, his philosophy of medicine and surgery has been refined to emphasize working with anatomy and physiology using the body’s natural healing mechanisms and tissue design for dealing with the force vectors applied to the human body.
He credits his wife Betsy with helping him learn to better hear and understand patients and especially their particular needs and beliefs which are important to their healing process. Together they started Cober Hernia because they perceived that this segment of the patient population was underserved and that patients had limited access to true specialists offering the full spectrum of repairs.
Dr. Cober learned the most advanced techniques from hernia experts in his training such as Dr. Ignatio Prats in Pennsylvania and is also indebted to learning from other experts such as Dr. Jonathan Yunis in Florida.
Dr. Cober does the full spectrum of hernia repairs. He is especially passionate about inguinal hernias and tailoring repairs based on patients’ wishes and anatomy and physiology. He believes we are at the greatest time in the history of hernia repair where we have so many options and a growing experience in the worldwide surgical community.
Dr. Cober believes that each repair has pros and cons and that there does not appear to be a one-size-fits-all approach. For more information, please visit our website www.coberhernia.com. The team at Cober Hernia would also like to thank the Hernia Coach as we believe that patients have their best outcomes when they are involved in a comprehensive treatment program addressing overall health and any underlying weaknesses.
