Our colorectal services team strives to provide outstanding care and accountability to each patient we treat. We comprehensively evaluate cases to discern the cause and extent of disorders of the colon, rectum, anus and pelvic floor. We ensure that patients fully understand their condition, what is at stake, what options exist and our recommended therapies. We deliver appropriate, individualized medical and surgical treatment to support patients’ recovery.
