Know a good butt doctor?

Hemorrhoids are incredibly common, yet when symptoms strike—pain, itching, bleeding or difficulty getting clean—many people have no idea where to turn for help. Some suffer for weeks or months, while others simply learn to live with the problem.

Ultimately, most people want the same thing: To make the hemorrhoids go away. But finding the right person to treat them isn’t always obvious.

Many start with their primary care physician. While a PCP can recommend conservative treatments, hemorrhoid procedures aren’t typically part of their practice. Patients may be prescribed a cream or referred to a colorectal surgeon.

A colorectal surgeon is certainly qualified to treat hemorrhoids, but surgery is rarely necessary. Most hemorrhoids can be treated effectively with simple, non-surgical procedures performed right in the office.

That’s where a hemorrhoid specialist comes in. 

With more than 20 years of experience treating hemorrhoids, I offer two easy, safe and effective, non-surgical procedures designed to safely eliminate hemorrhoids. 

One reduces the blood flow that feeds the hemorrhoids, reducing inflammation and causing them to shrink. The other is better suited to removing larger hemorrhoids. Both take just a few seconds to do. Since they are performed in an area with no nerve endings, they can be administered right in the comfort of my office without anesthesia.

There is virtually no pain, no prep needed, there are no major restrictions, and you don’t have to take time off of work. Our patient-centric focus also means scheduling an appointment and getting seen quickly are equally painless.

Our procedures are covered by insurance and consultations are free of charge.
