Dr. Frank Caliendo is here to discuss why a professional evaluation is so important when it comes to colore**al health.

While hemorrhoids are common and often treatable with simple in-office procedures, they aren't always the culprit. Dr. Caliendo explains the difference between internal and external hemorrhoids and why you should never settle for a self-diagnosis. 👨‍⚕️✨

🏥 A Day in the Life: Inside the O.R. with Dr. Dean Pappas

​Ever wonder what a typical morning looks like for a colore**al specialist in New York? Today, Dr. Pappas is walking us through his surgical lineup, featuring everything from quick relief procedures to advanced robotic technology.

​🩺 This Morning’s Schedule:
​1️⃣ Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy: A targeted solution for those suffering from the sharp, persistent pain of a chronic a**l fissure. This 20-minute procedure is a game-changer for patient comfort!

​2️⃣ Robotic Right Hemicolectomy: Using the state-of-the-art da Vinci robotic system to remove a large colon polyp.

​3️⃣ Sigmoid Resection: Helping a patient find long-term relief after multiple bouts of diverticulitis.

​💡 Why Your Screening Matters
​Dr. Pappas highlights a crucial point today: while tests like Cologuard can detect cancer, they often miss colon polyps. A colonoscopy remains the gold standard for both detection and prevention. If you’ve been putting off your screening, let this be your sign to prioritize your health!

​🌟 Advanced Care, Close to Home
​Whether it's a routine check-up or robotic-assisted surgery, our team is dedicated to providing compassionate colore**al care on Long Island. We’re here to help you feel better and get back to your life, without the embarrassment or the wait.
