Dr. Hector Roldan

MD, FRCSC, FACS — General Surgeon & Cosmetic Medicine Specialist

Dr. Hector Roldan's path to serving the Muskoka community is a testament to perseverance and unwavering dedication to surgical excellence. Born in Guatemala City and raised in Escuintla, a town by the Pacific Ocean, Dr. Roldan followed in his father's footsteps to become a general surgeon.

After completing his medical degree in Guatemala in 1988, Dr. Roldan came to Canada in 1989, determined to pursue advanced surgical training. He completed a Clinical Science Review Course in Toronto and passed all required Canadian medical licensing exams before completing his surgical residency at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario.

Today, Dr. Roldan serves as a General Surgeon & Cosmetic Medicine Specialist at Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare, practicing at both Huntsville District Memorial Hospital and South Muskoka Memorial Hospital. He is one of the few surgeons in the region who holds dual fellowship certifications from both the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (FRCSC) and the American College of Surgeons (FACS).

My Promise

To bring the full depth of my experience in surgery, research, teaching, and leadership to every patient I treat. Every patient deserves genuine care and a positive experience from consultation through recovery.
