Colorectal Physiology Center
It's difficult for people to talk openly about colorectal disorders. Some will even avoid discussing colorectal problems like rectal prolapse, bowel incontinence and fecal incontinence with their doctor or spouse.
That's why the University of Rochester Medical Center has assembled physicians, nurses, and technicians with expertise in both the emotional and medical aspects of these disorders. Together, they offer the region's most comprehensive, advanced, and successful colorectal services.
