The Hernia Center at Prime Surgicare

Welcome to the Hernia Center at Prime Surgicare

At the Hernia Center at Prime Surgicare, we specialize in providing expert hernia care to help patients in New Jersey regain their health and quality of life. We offer highly experienced, personalized treatment for various types of hernias, including inguinal hernia surgery, umbilical hernia surgery, and hiatal hernia repair.

Our New Jersey board-certified surgeons have performed hundreds of successful hernia operations since 2010.

The good news about modern hernia surgery: In many cases, minimally-invasive laparoscopic hernia repairs–ventral hernia, inguinal hernia (groin hernia) and hiatal hernia (for relief from GERD symptoms) can be performed on an outpatient basis—no hospitalization required!

We understand the importance of trust when it comes to your health.

Dr. Sowemimo and our experienced medical team are here to ensure you receive the highest level of care, compassion, and expertise.

Don’t just take our word for it—explore our Patient Reviews to hear directly from those who have entrusted us with their care.

Updated 3.5 years later…Down 158 lbs and feeling healthier than I have in years. BP, a1c, and cholesterol all down and arthritis is totally under control. I can walk and move and do things again!. If you are overweight, go see Dr Seun. I am a huge proponent of Bariatric surgery for extremely overweight people - I’m practically evangelical about it - it is life changing and life saving!———I cannot say enough good things about Dr Seun and the whole staff at this practice. They are caring, compassionate, funny, welcoming, and place patient safety as their top priority. Most bariatric patients have experienced fat discrimination from many medical providers - here, all patients are encouraged and valued! The staff at Centrastate was also amazing for pre and post-op bariatric care. My VSG surgery went off without a hitch - I felt great within 3 days of surgery - and in 4.5 months I’m down 85 lbs. I still have a way to go, but it has been life changing so far. I can’t thank Dr Seun and the whole team enough. For the first time in my 55 year life, I feel like I will achieve and maintain a healthy weight with the surgery and the ongoing support of this amazing team of professionals. If you’re on the fence, please go check this team out. Dr Seun will explain all of it and support you the whole way.

I just wanted to take the time to express how GRATEFUL I am for the LIFE CHANGING experience I’ve received from Dr. Sowemimo and his team at Prime Surgicare. Through the educational process and preparation for surgery, everything was smooth sailing. I went from being 430lbs to 327lbs at 3 months post-op. I feel and look amazing! I honestly can’t wait to see where this healthy lifestyle will take me. THANK YOU Dr. Sowemimo and his team! There’s not enough stars above so I’ll add some extra…⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 I’D HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Dr. Seun and teams at the Freehold and Jackson offices, I don’t know where to begin! My family and I are extremely appreciative and grateful for the professionalism, the compassion and the support that we have received these past three weeks. My husband had hernia repair surgery in October 2024 and my daughter had gastric sleeve surgery 8 days ago. My husband did his research and found Dr. Seun through a partnership that our insurance offered. He was so impressed with his first consult with Dr. Seun that when my daughter brought up the option of the weight loss surgery, we knew he was the doctor for her to consider. Neither husband nor my daughter ever looked back after their first visit. As much as no one ever wants to go through surgery, it was a very positive experience for both of them. The offices and hospital are an hour and 20 minutes from our home, but the distance never factored into our decision when we found Dr. Seun and getting the utmost care for our family. We look forward to going through this journey with you and your team beside Jillian knowing it will be a success. God bless you and your team for all that you do in changing peoples lives.The Marano family

I visited Dr. Sean after doing my homework and he came highly recommended. His practice made the process seamless without the need for grueling pre-operative diets and only insurance required hoops to jump through. I came to him disabled, with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, diabetic, sleep apnea, with no quality of life. 3 months post surgery I am down 80 lbs and happy to report all of my previous ailments, save my disability, have resolved themselves. My primary care doctor told me the surgery probably added 20 years to my life and I have no reason not believe him. Dr. Sean quite literally gave me the time and quality of life to watch my children grow up. I will be forever grateful and I can’t recommend this practice enough. Five Stars and then some.

I had the gastric sleeve on December 11, 2023. Since then I lost 115 pounds and still going. I exercise 6 days a week and follow a healthy diet, while tracking my food/water intake daily. I feel as if I have a new lease on life. I am happier, more confident, and more willing to try new things. I am a better person all around, and feel extremely luck to have this opportunity. Dr. Sowemimo and his team are experts at what they do. I felt supported and heard throughout the whole process- before, during, and after my surgery. I am a worrier by nature. I knew I could call the office at any time and my questions/concerns would be address promptly with compassion and grace. I highly recommend Dr. Sowemino and his staff. I am grateful!Sincerely,Allison

Dr. Sowemimo is a wonderful surgeon. I would recommend anyone struggling with weight loss to go to his practice.I'm 9 months post-op now. I've never felt better! I'm a size that I never dreamed possible. I'm smaller now than I was in high school. My confidence is at an all time high. I felt healthy enough to start going to yoga and try outdoor activities, like tubing and hiking. I don't feel limited anymore by my body.

Dr. Seun is amazing! He's very straight forward and gives you the tools you need to be successful. Dr. Seun cares, and wants you to be successful. My procedure was explained to me from the first visit and any questions I have are always answered. I started this journey at over 300 lbs by surgery I was under 300 and today 3 months post op I am 245. My life is so different and i still have a journey, but I'm well on my way. If you're ready to change your life I recommend going to see Dr. Seun.

I am so happy I found Dr. Seun and his office. He takes the time to talk with his patients and you feel heard, that you matter, and he genuinely wants to see each patient succeed and live the healthiest lifestyle one can live. His staff is so nice, friendly and efficient. Patients I feel are scheduled with proper time allowance for Dr Seun to dedicate to individuals the time they need and not just pack as many people in a day into the office with long waiting room times.I feel my time is respected! I have never had to wait more than a few short minutes which to me is very acceptable especially for the care I receive from Dr Seun and his team.

I would recommend him over & over.
