Colorectal Surgery

Our team of colorectal experts treat conditions of the lower gastrointestinal tract (colon, rectum and anus). Here you’ll find a multispecialty, individualized approach to care. Our providers use the latest tools and techniques to deliver the best possible outcomes, including:

Anorectal Physiology

Anorectal manometry is an advanced, non-invasive test that measures how well the rectum and anal sphincter are working. We are able to perform this test in the office. 

Pelvic Health Center

Our colorectal providers are proud to be a part of this CHI Health program, which is dedicated to resolving complex issues of the pelvic floor utilizing a multidisciplinary team approach. Learn more about our Pelvic Health Center.
