Ascension Sacred Heart Emerald Coast has expanded its general surgery program with the addition of a second board-certified surgeon at its practice in Santa Rosa Beach.
- Dr. Trevor Beckham joined the hospital’s surgical team Aug. 1 at Ascension Sacred Heart General Surgery – Mack Bayou, located at 179 Mack Bayou Loop, Suite 101. He joins Dr. Neal Holm, who has been with the team since May 2025.
“With the addition of our second general surgeon, coupled with our investments in robot-assisted surgery technologies, we are bringing the future of minimally invasive surgery to our community,” said Trey Abshier, president and CEO of Sacred Heart Emerald Coast.
Both physicians are board-certified in general surgery and use advanced surgical options when clinically appropriate, according to the hospital.
Holm completed his medical training and earned his medical degree at Louisiana State University Health Science Center in Shreveport, Louisiana. Beckham is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons and completed his medical training and earned his medical degree at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
The surgeons provide care for a range of conditions, including abdominal surgeries such as hernia repair, gallbladder removal and appendectomies; digestive tract surgery involving the stomach, small intestine and colon; breast surgery including biopsies, lumpectomies and mastectomies; and thyroid and parathyroid surgery. They also perform surgical management of infections or abscesses.
Care teams use minimally invasive and robotic-assisted technology to treat abdominal conditions and other injuries. The hospital said those approaches may lead to a faster recovery, shorter hospital stay and less scarring.
