We are glad to know that you have chosen North Texas Colon and Rectal as your physician. We understand that no one likes going to the doctor, and especially for colon and rectal problems.

We will strive to minimize the stress you may experience through the entire process. Also, feel free to ask your physician questions, if you have them. We want you to be well informed about your treatment.

The practice of medicine has become more of a bureaucratic challenge and less personal or intimate. Despite our lack of control in those areas, we strive to maintain the REAL SIDE OF MEDICINE, the human side, the touch, the smile, the tear, the heart, the love. These are the reasons for which we practice medicine. Even with the changes that have pushed us away from the true art of medicine, the physicians at North Texas Colon and Rectal, offices in Dallas, Garland and Rockwall, always seek new opportunities to practice medicine the way it ought to be. As we see each patient at North Texas Colon and Rectal, we see this as a small opportunity to touch their life and positively impact them for eternity.

By reading this Internet site, you will have a good understanding of our expertise and various problems we treat.

As with most healthcare problems, delaying care can make relatively simple problems more complex and harder to treat. This is especially so with cancer. Early detection of cancer is crucial. When detected early, outcomes are best.

So if you are coming to us for a routine screening, congratulate yourself that you are making an excellent choice to preventing serious problems down the road.

In any event, we take seriously the trust you place in us with your choice of North Texas Colon and Rectal, and we look forward to taking care of you.
