UofL Physicians – Colon & Rectal Surgery and UofL Physicians – Colon & Rectal Surgery Associates understand that our patients deserve equal doses of expertise and compassion, and our board-certified colon and rectal surgeons recognize how colorectal disease uniquely affects each patient’s life. That’s why we consider our patient’s individual lifestyles and needs when we explore treatment options. As partners in their healthcare, we work with our patients to achieve the best medical and surgical results so they can enjoy what is most important to them: family, work, school and play.
Our practices specialize in the diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of disorders of the colon, rectum, small intestine and anus, including colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis), diverticulitis, colonoscopy, advanced colon surgery, simple anal conditions such as hemorrhoids, fistulas, fecal incontinence, pelvic floor problems and more. Our expertise in robotic and other forms of minimally invasive surgery reduces pain and speeds recovery for a wide variety of patients.
We strive to provide patients with the best medical care available and to improve the quality of life for patients and future generations at risk of developing a disease by making it preventable, more manageable or curable. Our regionally and nationally recognized surgeons take care of patients with the most complicated and difficult problems imaginable.
One of the unique aspects of our practice is that it is connected to a university setting, which means many of our surgeons are training the next generation of physicians and surgeons. In fact, our clinical and research training programs attract candidates from across America and from around the world. This assures that you are receiving the best and most up-to-date treatment options and more attentive care than other institutions can offer.
