WELCOME

Our site, Kolonokopelli, is a resource for new patients and others looking for current information about benign (hemorrhoids, prolapse, pilonidal cyst and incontinence) and malignant (anal cancer, colon cancer and rectal cancer) colorectal surgical technology and the most recent medical advancements in the area of colon, rectal and anal health.

We provide the latest treatment for colon and rectal cancer with our use of Three-dimensional Transrectal ultrasound, the first for this purpose in the state of Arizona. We provide laparoscopic colon and rectal resections with short hospital stays and more rapid recovery. We also offer the latest treatment for incontinence and the artificial anal sphincter.

This site is also a resource for current patients. To left you will find links to Care Instructions (Pre and Post Op), Colonoscopy instructions a description of our Anal Physiology Lab, a list of insurance providers, and so on.

"The only way to advance cancer research is through a closer relationship between patients, physcians and research scientists."

Mission Statement:

Our Mission is to treat every patient as an individual, to recognize that the healthcare need of each patient is different and quality of life is as important as quantity of life. We wish to provide healthcare and limit time spent in sickcare. We do this by preventing or eliminating diseases through the use of screening colonoscopy and anal papsmears... Thus we will keep our patients healthy, happy and enjoying life.
