Our Colorectal Surgeons (Proctologists)
Since the founding of our practice in 1957, our guiding philosophy has been, and will always be to provide our patients with focused diagnostic efforts and compassionate medical and surgical treatment, while adhering to the highest principles in the art and science of medicine.
Our practice specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases that affect the rectum, anus, colon and pelvic floor (proctology). Doctors specializing in colorectal surgery are sometimes referred to as proctologists but this term is outdated and not used as often as it once was.
