Overview
I am interested in all aspects of colorectal surgery. With my advanced training in colon and rectal disorders, I treat the whole spectrum of diseases. These include anorectal problems (fissures, hemorrhoids, abscesses and fistulas), pelvic floor problems (prolapse, fecal incontinence and constipation), inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease) and also colon or rectal cancer. I use flexible sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy to help me in the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of these problems. I use minimally invasive techniques to minimize discomfort and enhance recovery.
His clinical expertise encompasses Rectal Prolapse, Familial Colorectal Cancer, Colorectal Cancer, Lynch Syndrome, and Colostomy.
