MGA Physicians Begin Offering Hemorrhoid Banding Procedure in Office

admin — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 19:33:03 +0000

Metropolitan Gastroenterology Associates is now offering hemorrhoid banding (ligation) procedure in the comfort and convenience of our office for qualified patients.

The new procedure is the preferred choice for removal of external hemorrhoids as no painful surgery and long recovery time is required.

If you suffer from hemorrhoids, this painless and permanent treatment is 99% effective in the removal of hemorrhoids. The procedure takes about one minute to perform with most patients being able to return to work the same day.

In the event of multiple hemorrhoids, often the largest most symptomatic is banded first and additional appointments are scheduled to treat the remaining hemorrhoids at one to two week intervals.

Our physicians, Drs. Venturatos, Wegmann, Lemann, and Reiss are certified by The Center for Colorectal Health to perform this procedure.

Implementing electronic health records (EHR) allows us to improve the quality of care by providing an increased level of access, documentation and security of your medical record. Further, EHR allows us to more effective coordinate your car with your primary physician in a timely manner—our physicians electronically document your visit and transmit a referral letter and report to your doctor even before you leave our office.
