About Us
The name "MACHAON" (pronounced ma-kay-un) is based on a notable, accomplished, ancient Greek army physician found in Homer's Iliad. The son of Asclepius, Machaon and his brother, Podalirius, lived in approximately 1300 BC and served as doctors in the Greek army during the war with Troy. He is the first documented surgeon ever mentioned in written records and is known as the "Father of Surgery".
