Reviews

Dr Bograd is the ultimate provider. He takes time to explain one's health and also his procedures. He takes time to be sure patient understands their health. He provided great aftercare advice which resulted in a very quick recovery.
I really like this doctor.
Dr Bograd was very helpful in explaining everything.
Everyone is so kind , great experience
Dr Bogard was very professional and answered all my questions. He was courteous and made me feel comfortable.
Professional, good communication and guidance for the next steps in my care.
This was a follow-up visit after emergency surgery 2 1/2 weeks prior. Dr. Bograd informed, listened, and addressed all questions I had in a concise and clear manner. The office is run well with few people in the waiting room and patients being seen in a timely manner.
Dr. Bograd was very professional and kind. I appreciated the way he spoke with me and the way he explains medical conditions and procedures. He took time to listen to me and never made me feel rushed or like an inconvenience.
I was happy with the care that I received. The doctor seemed extremely competent. He answered all my questions and kept me informed about my procedure.
Receptionist and nurse and doctor were very kind and polite and answered my questions professionally, but in language I could understand.
My service was done very well, they always do a good job.
Curious about appointments almost an hour away. Are the Camden doctors not acceptable?Added another cardiologist to the one in Camden (Dr Zinni) ?
He was great, and listened to everything I had to say.. Sat down and explained everything to terms I could understand..
Excellent physician who always addresses my concerns. He treats me like a person--not just a patient.
I would recommend Dr. Bograd to anyone who needs an excellent surgeon.
I had an infection and surgery in a very private and personal area and he never made me feel embarrassed or self-conscious about talking about the issue with him or when he had to look at the incisions. He was very professional and made me feel very comfortable.
Pleasant and professional, friendly and informative
Dr. Bograd is very welcoming and efficient. I will refer anyone I know in my area to this office! Cannot say enough good things!

Biography

Benjamin Asher Bograd, D.O., is a board-certified general surgeon at Southeast Georgia Physician Associates-General Surgery in St. Marys, Georgia. He provides a variety of surgical services, including appendectomy; biopsy; colorectal, gallbladder, gastroenterological and general surgery; hernia repair and more.

During his undergraduate and graduate school years, Dr. Bograd discovered his passion for the health care industry through nutrition and exercise science, but as his education continued, his interests rapidly turned clinical. He pursued his medical degree at West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine in Lewisburg, West Virginia and dove into medicine to make a larger impact on his patients’ health as a physician.

His approach to patient care is wholehearted and patient centered, believing that the bond between a patient and their surgeon is very special. Watching patients improve, recover completely, and eventually move on with their lives as it was prior to their illness or injury is the most satisfying aspect of medicine for him. His goal is to help each patient get back on his or her feet.

Prior to joining the Health System, Dr. Bograd served twelve years in the Navy. After leaving active duty, he began searching for a place to settle. On his wish list was a supportive community hospital with a breadth of patients, a charming town with a strong school system, close to an airport as his wife travels (pre COVID-19) often for her job, a military community, and after being stationed on the small island of Guam, they were looking forward to finding a home near the beach with warm weather and palm trees.

St. Marys, Georgia was the perfect fit.

When Dr. Bograd isn’t practicing medicine, he enjoys spending time with his wife, two children, and their dog. Unsurprisingly, Dr. Bograd’s enthusiasm for health and wellness is personal as well as professional. He’s participated in a handful of half Ironman races, and although he’s not sure if he’ll ever step up to a full Ironman, he enjoys the challenge of racing.
