Colorectal Cancer and Precancerous Polyps
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common yet preventable cancers when detected early. It typically develops from precancerous growths called polyps that form on the inner lining of the colon or rectum. While not all polyps become cancerous, certain types carry significant risk and should be removed. Regular screening through colonoscopy allows identification and removal of these polyps before they progress to cancer. Our practice offers comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis, and advanced surgical treatment for polys and colorectal cancer at all stages. We work closely with oncologists and other specialists to provide personalized care plans that may include minimally invasive surgical techniques, helping patients achieve the best possible outcomes.

Hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the lower rectum and anus that affect millions of people each year. They can be internal, developing inside the rectum, or external, forming under the skin around the anus. Common symptoms include bleeding during bowel movements, swelling, and discomfort. While hemorrhoids can often be managed with conservative treatments like dietary changes, increased fiber intake, and topical medications, some cases require procedural intervention. Our practice offers a full spectrum of treatment options, from office procedures to surgical removal for severe or persistent cases, always focusing on the least invasive approach that will effectively resolve your symptoms.

Bleeding and Pain
Rectal bleeding and pain are symptoms that should never be ignored, as they can indicate a range of conditions from minor to serious. Bleeding may appear as bright red blood on toilet paper, in the toilet bowl, or mixed with stool, while rectal pain can range from mild to severe discomfort. These symptoms may stem from hemorrhoids, anal fissures, infections, inflammatory conditions, or other more serious issues. Our practice provides thorough diagnostic evaluation to identify the underlying cause of your symptoms. Through careful examination and appropriate testing, we develop targeted treatment plans that address both symptom relief and long-term resolution.

Diverticulitis and Colitis
Diverticulitis occurs when small areas of weakness in the colon wall, called diverticula, become inflamed or infected, causing abdominal pain, fever, and changes in bowel habits. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, involves chronic autoimmune inflammation of the digestive tract that can lead to severe symptoms and complications. Both conditions can significantly impact quality of life and may require surgical intervention when medical management is insufficient. Our practice specializes in the surgical treatment of diverticulitis and IBD, offering procedures ranging from minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery to complex reconstructive operations. We collaborate with gastroenterologists to ensure comprehensive care and help patients achieve lasting relief from these conditions.
