Colon & Rectal Surgery in Arizona

Services

The Division of Colon and Rectal Surgery is a major referral center for all types of colon and rectal problems. Many patients are directed to Mayo Clinic because their problem is unusual or extremely complex. Referrals may come from a primary care physician, another specialist or the patients themselves.

At Mayo Clinic, patients undergo a comprehensive evaluation, often involving multiple specialists, to ensure that a correct diagnosis and treatment plan is formulated. All patients referred to Mayo benefit from the multi disciplinary team approach that is an essential feature of the Mayo practice.
