Experiencing issues with Internal Hemorrhoids?
We have physicians trained in hemorrhoid banding, including our newest physician named above.
Benefits of the procedure include:
- a reliable and effective treatment for internal hemorrhoids, boasting a 99% success rate. Because of its high success rate, many patients can finally find lasting relief from painful and uncomfortable symptoms related to internal and external hemorrhoids.
- it minimizes the risk of patients developing more hemorrhoids in the same places after successful treatment.
- most major insurance plans cover hemorrhoid ligation treatment, increasing patient access to safe and effective hemorrhoid treatments.
- overall time it takes to place the rubber band around a hemorrhoid is only about a minute, meaning the entire visit to your physician is short. Most patients can receive treatment and complete their entire appointment in just 15 minutes, allowing them to return to normal activities and responsibilities promptly.
- relatively painless, meaning patients do not typically need to take pain medication following the procedure.
Without a painful recovery period, patients can quickly get back to their day following treatment. - requires little to no downtime following a procedure. Patients can go to their appointment without extensive preparation, like traditional techniques often require. Following a treatment, patients do not need to modify their lifestyle habits or plan for a long recovery period.
March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month!
Colorectal cancer is the #2 cancer killer in the United States, yet it is one of the most preventable types of cancer. Over 80% of all cases of colorectal cancer can be prevented with recommended screening. A colonoscopy is the gold standard for colon cancer screening.
