Colorectal Specialists & Surgeons in Florida

Quality Colorectal Care

Many adults have problems with bowel control, and about half of the population has hemorrhoids by age 50. These problems may seriously impact your quality of life or even lead to colon cancer.

Our board-certified colon and rectal specialists are fully trained in surgical and non-surgical treatment of benign and malignant colon and rectal conditions. We help patients achieve comfort through accurate diagnosis, specialized treatment and follow-up care.

Recognizing and Treating Colorectal Conditions

Colorectal diseases are commonly caused by diet, family history, and lifestyle. Broward Health offers screening and surveillance programs to prevent and detect colorectal cancer early, including genetic counseling and testing for risk assessment. Diagnostic tests include colonoscopies, CT scans, stool tests, and lab analyses.

Conditions We Treat

Conditions Treated:

Abdominal Pain/Bloating
Appendicitis
Barrett's Esophagus

Chron’s Disease
Diverticulitis
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

Treating colorectal diseases with surgical interventions can restore colorectal function significantly. Patients typically also need lifestyle changes, a balanced diet and, in some cases, radiation or chemotherapy for prolonged benefits after surgery. We proactively order physical therapy evaluations and treatments the morning after surgery so you immediately get the assistance needed to meet discharge goals.

Colorectal Procedures

Procedure For Prolapse Hemorrhoids (PPH)

The minimally invasive procedure for prolapsed hemorrhoids (PPH) is less painful than other procedures, shrinks hemorrhoids more quickly, and can be performed in 25 to 30 minutes. Patients typically go home an hour or two following the procedure, experience some discomfort for a few days, and can return to work within a week.

Ostomy Program

Ostomy and stoma generally describe a surgically created opening in the body to discharge body wastes. Our ostomy program provides pre- and post-operative care so you can lead a full, normal and productive life following surgery. Services include:

Assessment and evaluation
Care and correction of problems associated with difficult stomas
Consultation with a physician as needed
Dietary management
Individualized rehabilitative care
Ostomy support group
Selection of appropriate pouching system
Skin protection and maintenance
Stoma site marking
Teaching and counseling

Robotic Surgeries
