General Surgeons in Southeast Michigan

Our practice was founded in 1980 by Dr. Mario Villalba, Sr., who was later joined by Dr. Mark Frikker. These two iconic surgeons trained generations of surgeons in our community, including each of us. They established a foundation of commitment to surgical excellence with sharp focus on attention to detail – details of surgical technique and patient care. These exceptional surgeons earned wide respect for their skill in caring for patients with the most challenging of surgical conditions. 

In addition to running a busy surgical practice, Dr. Villalba served as medical director of the surgical intensive care unit for most of his career. He and Dr. Frikker (who now serves as Beaumont Royal Oak’s Chief of Surgical Services) challenged each of us, after successful completion of rigorous general surgery training, to pursue subspecialty fellowship training in the nation’s premier academic institutions.
