Wesley Medical Center hires pediatric surgeon

Wesley Medical Center has hired the area’s first permanent pediatric surgeon since the departure of Kimberly Molik in August 2013.

Mark Saxton practiced in Omaha for six years before practicing at Gundersen Health Systems in La Crosse, Wis., according to a news release. In Wisconsin, Saxton helped establish the pectus excavatum program to correct “sunken chest” deformities, and Saxton says he’d like to start a similar program at Wesley.
