From South to North, We Have You Covered
Whether facing an urgent medical need or managing routine care, patients benefit in many ways from having health care close to home. Nearby services make it easier to keep up with regular appointments and follow treatment plans, which leads to better health outcomes.
Berkshire Health Systems is proud to share that patients in South and North Berkshire have expanded access to comprehensive surgical services—available right at Fairview Hospital and North Adams Regional Hospital.
Fairview Surgical Services
Mark A. Taylor, II, MD, joined Fairview Hospital in 2022, and teamed up with George Veinoglou, MD, who provided surgical care for the South Berkshire community for decades. As Dr. Veinoglou prepares for retirement, Dr. Taylor has taken on the role of primary surgeon at Fairview. He received his medical degree from the University of Nevada School of Medicine, Reno, NV, and completed his residency in general surgery at the University of Utah Hospital, Salt Lake City.
We truly love this area…
Mark A. Taylor, II, MD
“Having lived all my life in the West, things are quite a bit different in the Berkshires,” said Taylor. “However, my wife, kids, and I truly love this area, especially the welcoming community.”
Surgical Professional Services
Brett Matthews, DO, a board certified and fellowship trained surgeon, joined the medical staff at North Adams Regional Hospital in July, 2025. He is currently accepting patients in need of general surgery and endoscopy services.
Matthews has been practicing general and minimally invasive surgery for the past eight years and spent the last three years at Anna Jaques Hospital in Newburyport, MA. He received his medical degree from the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed his residency at Berkshire Medical Center. He also completed a residency at the University of Hawaii, Honolulu, and a fellowship in upper GI endoscopy, advanced laparoscopy, and bariatric surgery at the University of Massachusetts.
