Colon & Rectal Surgery

Advanced Surgical Care for Colon and Rectal Conditions

At Core Physicians, our colon and rectal surgery team provides comprehensive care for colorectal health. Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the third leading cause of cancer-related death among both men and women in the United States.

Early detection and treatment are critical, and our surgeons are here to offer expert evaluation, advanced surgical care and personalized support every step of the way.

Expert Surgical Care

Our colon and rectal surgeons specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the colon, rectum and anus. We have extensive experience with laparoscopic and other minimally invasive procedures, which allow for faster recovery, less pain, and improved outcomes. Our surgical expertise includes:

• Colon cancer – advanced surgical treatment, including minimally invasive options
• Diverticular disease – management and surgical intervention when needed
• Rectal prolapse – corrective procedures to restore normal function
• Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) – including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis

Screening for Colorectal Cancer

Screening is one of the most effective ways to prevent colorectal cancer. Our team offers:

• Colonoscopy and flexible sigmoidoscopy – to detect early signs of cancer or precancerous polyps
• Risk assessment and family history review – to tailor screening recommendations
• Early detection strategies – giving you the best chance for successful treatment

Minimally Invasive Surgical Options

Whenever possible, we use laparoscopic and robotic-assisted techniques for colon and rectal procedures. Benefits of minimally invasive surgery include:

• Smaller incisions and reduced scarring
• Less postoperative pain
• Shorter hospital stays and faster recoveries
• Lower risk of infection and complications

Prevention & Lifestyle Guidance

Our surgeons provide guidance on simple steps to reduce colorectal cancer risk, including:

• Maintaining a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables and fiber
• Staying physically active
• Limiting alcohol consumption and avoiding tobacco
• Discussing appropriate screening based on age and family history
