A skilful and caring general surgeon, Dr. Angott is the Founder of Angott Surgical Associates with offices in Washington and Waynesburg, Pennsylvania. He works alongside Dr. Wayne Myers, DO, helping patients to feel their best.

General surgery is a surgical specialty that focuses on abdominal contents including the esophagus, stomach, small bowel, colon, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, appendix and bile ducts, and often the thyroid gland. A general surgeon performs a wide range of abdominal surgeries for many forms of intestinal and abdominal wall neoplasms, gallbladder disease, gastric and pancreatic disease. They follow the patient through critical care and surgical recovery all the way to outpatient care. 

Happily married, Dr. Angott and his wife, Kimberly Angott, have three children: Nathan, Ryan and Allison. Outside of work, he enjoys fishing/hunting, golfing, and gardening. He also likes going to high school and college football games.
