AREAS OF PRACTICE
Diseases of the colon, and other digestive conditions
Inflammatory bowel disease
Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are long-term conditions that inflame the bowel. An accurate diagnosis and steady follow-up keep them under control and protect the colon over the years.
Colon polyps
Small growths on the lining of the colon. Most are harmless, but some turn into cancer over many years, which is why finding and removing them matters.
Colon cancer screening
Colon cancer is one of the most preventable cancers when it is caught early. Screening finds polyps and early disease before there are any symptoms.
Also seen at the clinics: reflux and dyspepsia (“hyperacidity”), gallstone-related pain and other digestive complaints.
ABOUT
