Overview

"Shirley Shiuh Leei Shih, MD, a colorectal surgeon at Northwell Health, specializes in treating all forms of benign and malignant colorectal disease-including Crohn's disease, diverticular disease and colorectal cancer-through minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery.

She decided to become a doctor, like her father, while growing up Long Island, but it wasn't until she was in medical school at Albany Medical College, and attended a lecture on colorectal procedure, that she decided this was the direction she wanted to take.

""My starting point was just wanting to help people.

Dr. Shih is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Diverticular Disease. Her top areas of expertise are Pilonidal Sinus Disease, Retroperitoneal Inflammation, Diverticular Disease, Bladder Reconstruction, and Colostomy.
