• See a specialist

  Many patients think their problem is "hemorrhoids" when it is something entirely different, such as anal fissure, fistula, or even a serious problem such as anal or rectal cancer. Symptoms should always be evaluated by a specialist before treatment begins. Many doctors who treat anal problems are not trained in this type of evaluation.
  All of our physicians are board certified are members of the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons. Ask your doctor what kind of training he or she has in the treatment of these conditions.
