Overview
At our practice, we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of all conditions affecting the lower gastrointestinal tract. Patients benefit from our experience and expertise in performing highly specialized abdominal, anorectal and endoscopic procedures.
CONDITIONS WE TREAT
Anorectal procedures are often performed on a same-day or ambulatory basis. Some of these procedures can be performed laparoscopically with what is called transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS). Other simple anorectal procedures can be performed in the office without anesthesia.

Procedures
ABDOMINAL (LAPAROSCOPIC, ROBOTIC, OPEN)
Most abdominal procedures are minimally invasive, meaning they are performed using a laparoscopic or robotic. In a small percentage of patients with complex diseases or those who have previously undergone abdominal surgeries, a traditional “open” abdominal surgery is necessary.
- Colon and rectal resection for colon, rectal and anal cancer
- Sphincter saving procedures avoiding permanent colostomy
- Colon resection for diverticulitis
- Colon, rectal and small bowel resection for Crohn’s disease
- Colon resection for constipation
- Enterocutanous fistula repair (small bowel and colon)
- Parastomal hernia repair
- Stoma (ileostomy, colostomy) surgery
- Colon and rectal resection for endometriosis
- Colon and rectal resection for ulcerative colitis and for familial adenomatous polyposis FAP (colectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis IPAA
ANORECTAL
Anorectal procedures are often performed on a same-day or ambulatory basis. Some of these procedures can be performed laparoscopically with what is called transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS). Other simple anorectal procedures can be performed in the office without anesthesia.
- Transanal surgery for cancer and polyps
- Transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS)
- Rectal prolapse repair
- Hemorrhoids surgery
- Anal fistula repair
- Abscess surgery
- Rectovaginal fistula repair
- Fissure surgery
- Rectocele surgery
- Fecal incontinence surgery (sphincter repair, sacral nerve stimulation SNS)
- Pilonidal cyst removal
- Perianal hidradenitis
- Condyloma (perianal warts) surgery
COLONOSCOPY & PELVIC FLOOR TESTING
Anorectal procedures are often performed on a same-day or ambulatory basis. Some of these procedures can be performed laparoscopically with what is called transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS). Other simple anorectal procedures can be performed in the office without anesthesia.
- Screening and surveillance colonoscopy
- Advanced colonoscopy for polyp removal (endoscopic mucosal resection)
- Laparoscopic assisted colonoscopy

KTAZ (Telemundo) – Cancer Awareness Month
Colorectal cancer is the third commonly diagnosed cancer in men and women combined in the U.S.
The ACS recommends that people at average risk* of colorectal cancer start regular screening at age 45.
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in men and women combined in U.S.
