Overview

About

Michelle “Shelley” Scerbo, MD, is a board-certified general surgeon who specializes in bariatric and foregut surgery. This includes the treatment of obesity and obesity-related health conditions, as well as gastroesophageal reflux disease. She treats teenagers, adults, and older adults.

Dr. Scerbo focuses on patient-centered care, shared decision-making, and opioid-sparing strategies for pain control when it comes to guiding her patients through their surgical journey. She also strongly values improving fairness in health care and incorporating new technologies.

Her areas of specialty care include surgery of the esophagus and stomach (reflux/heartburn, ulcer disease, hiatal hernias, achalasia, and weight loss procedures for obesity, including revisional bariatric surgery). Her practice also includes surgery of the abdominal wall and hernia surgery (umbilical/ventral/femoral/inguinal hernia and abdominal wall reconstruction), as well as surgery for diseases of the gallbladder, small intestine, appendix, and colon. Whenever possible, Dr. Scerbo opts for minimally invasive techniques to reduce incision size and postoperative pain, and improve recovery time. She additionally performs upper endoscopies and colonoscopies.

She is an assistant professor of surgery at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston. She is also the trauma medical director at Memorial Hermann Cypress Hospital. Her experience includes a residency in general surgery, and a fellowship in minimally invasive, advanced gastrointestinal, and bariatric surgery. During that time, she received formal training in robotic surgery and surgical endoscopy. She received a Master of Science in health informatics during her training. In addition to her clinical practice, she uses her expertise to ensure that electronic medical records contribute to the efficient and safe delivery of patient care. This includes serving as the physician editor for the electronic surgical order sets for the Memorial Hermann Hospital System.

Her professional memberships include American College of Surgeons, American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons, American Medical Informatics Association, and Surgical Infection Society. She serves on the Informatics Committee of the Surgical Infection Society.

In her spare time, Dr. Scerbo likes spending time with her husband and three children, attending sporting events, Pilates, and contributing to the growth of the Cypress, Texas community.

I think the world of Dr. Scerbo. If I need surgery again, I will go back to her. She did a great job on my stomach surgery.

Front desk and doctor were great but we had to wait over 30 minutes


Feb 28, 2025

I went into the visit unsure about making a decision. The physician provided information, potential risks and benefits. I made a decision before leaving to proceed with treatment.


Feb 24, 2025

Sit down and talk to me explain everything to me very good. I will use her again.

Dr. Scerbo and her staff are excellent.


Feb 5, 2025

I felt very comfortable and heard during my entire experience. If I had this type of care initially, I feel that I would not have experienced the complications I am experiencing now. From check-in to check out, I felt seen and heard. This is unusual in the current patient experience - and I truly appreciate the time, attention, and expertise shown. I feel comfortable and SAFE in their hands. Kudos to this entire team!

Very informative Dr visit


Nov 20, 2024

This was only my initial visit. I have no way of knowing whether or not Dr. Scerbo will meet my expectations. That being said, I like that she wants to start at the beginning. She's extremely efficient, professional, & listens intently. She came highly recommended by my Dietician. Praying this is the start of something good.

The staff is very friendly


Oct 23, 2024

She is a very good doctor. She knows her stuff, but she don't talk to the patient afterward. Don't advise the patient after everything, after they done seen her. She had some blood work done, and I still don't know about my test results, or how they're going to come out. I called them, no one answered. So, yes, she's a good doctor, but they just don't follow up with the patient after they done seen that patient. Thank you.


Oct 16, 2024

Dr explained all options and reasons for treatment.


Oct 11, 2024

Thanks to Dr. Scerbo and everyone in her office. They made me feel welcome and were very kind. Dr. Scerbo talked to me and gave me options to help me understand what she was going to do for me. I would recommend Dr. Scerbo to anyone needing a really good surgeon.
