Today, I am talking with Dr. George Crawford, MD about how gallbladder issues and concerns can impact your pregnancy. Gallbladder removal is the second most common non-obstetrical operation that occurs during pregnancy.

In addition to running his multi-specialty clinic, Dr. Crawford sits on the board of trustees of the North East Regional Medical Center and volunteers through a mentorship program he created which allows high school students a practical, first-hand experience in medicine.
