Colon and rectal diseases encompass a broad range of conditions that can vary from mildly irritating to life threatening. Our surgeons work closely with your gastroenterologist or referring provider to offer a comprehensive treatment plan. Our surgeons are well versed in treatment of both non-cancerous and cancerous diseases of the colon, rectum and anus.
We evaluate and treat fatty liver disease by offering effective medical and surgical weight-loss treatments including: body composition analysis, liver function and scar testing, dietitian consultations, medications for weight loss, meal replacement programs, and referrals for bariatric endoscopy and surgery.
Northeast Medical Group’s gastroenterologists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of the full range of digestive system disorders. These disorders affect the digestive tract, including stomach, intestines, gallbladder, esophagus, biliary tract, pancreas, liver and colon.
Hernias are very common. It is important to call your doctor if you suspect you have a hernia. Waiting too long to see a doctor could result in the need for emergency hernia surgery. We offer minimally invasive approaches to most hernias, including robotic surgery and laparoscopic surgery.
