Providence Colon & Rectal Surgery

Mon - Fri: 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Colon and rectal diseases comprise a broad range of conditions and ailments, the severity of which can vary from mild to life threatening. Colon and rectal surgeons are experts in the surgical and non-surgical treatment of cancer of the colon, rectum and anus, as well as benign conditions like colon polyps, diverticular disease, inflammatory bowel disease including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, anorectal conditions, fecal incontinence and pelvic floor disorders. Colon and rectal surgeons complete a residency in general surgery and additional specialty training in a colon and rectal surgery fellowship.

Our colorectal group of board certified surgeons serves as the tertiary referral center for Eastern Washington and the surrounding tri-state region for both emergent and nonemergent colorectal conditions. Patient care is closely coordinated with local and regional medical and radiation oncologists, radiologists, gastroenterologists and primary care physicians along with general surgeons, gynecologists, gynecology oncologists and urologists as patient conditions require. Alongside clinical duties, our colorectal surgeons participate in state and national quality improvement projects, clinical research and leadership at the national level within the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons.

Patient care is provided at Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center and Holy Family Hospital.
