    "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, and as soon as I saw what type of new colorectal surgeries were being done, I could see the potential for boosting patient quality of life,"" she says. ""Instead of stem-to-stern incisions that led to long recoveries, we could do minimally invasive procedures that offered faster recovery and less pain.""Dr. Shih completed her residency at George Washington University Hospital and a fellowship at Cleveland Clinic in Florida, as well as at Indiana University School of Medicine. She spent seven years in private practice near Philadelphia, then returned to New York to join Northwell Health.""The team-oriented approach here is very strong,"" she says. ""There is such good communication and collaboration, both among partners in my practice and with everyone at Northwell generally. That gives patients more comprehensive support.""Currently, she's enhancing her surgical skills by learning robotic surgery, as she's passionate about offering patients more options for treatment. She's also an assistant professor at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell. Other efforts include training residents to provide enhanced patient care, and pursuing excellence in rectal cancer treatment at Huntington Hospital.Part of her lifelong learning comes from patients as well. ""What I've learned from them is to treat every patient as an individual,"" she says. ""It's important for me, and for all doctors, to tailor each discussion based on what a patient needs. I try to remember that with every patient conversation.""". Dr. Shih is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Fecal Impaction.

    What is the definition of Fecal Impaction?

    A fecal impaction is a large lump of dry, hard stool that stays stuck in the rectum. It is most often seen in people who are constipated for a long time.

    When should I see an Fecal Impaction doctor near Huntington, NY?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing an Fecal Impaction doctor near Huntington, NY?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Fecal Impaction doctors near Huntington, NY?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Fecal Impaction doctors near Huntington, NY?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with an Fecal Impaction doctor near Huntington, NY?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Fecal Impaction doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Fecal Impaction doctor?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with an Fecal Impaction doctor near Huntington, NY?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Fecal Impaction doctor?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Fecal Impaction doctor may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Fecal Impaction doctors near Huntington, NY?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Fecal Impaction doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find an Fecal Impaction doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Fecal Impaction doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
