Don't wait weeks in pain or sit in an ER that can't fix it
Most anal pain has a specific, treatable cause: a fissure, a thrombosed hemorrhoid, an abscess. A colorectal surgeon can usually diagnose it in one visit — and often treat it the same day. That's what we do, every day.
Conditions we treat urgently
Painful or thrombosed hemorrhoids Anal fissures (sharp pain with bowel movements) Anal abscess (throbbing pain, swelling, fever) Pain with bleeding Pain after a procedure or injury Pain that hasn't gone away and hasn't been diagnosed Not sure which one you have? That's exactly what the appointment is for. Call and describe your symptoms — we'll tell you how soon you should be seen.
Why a Specialist not the Urgent Care or ER?
The ER can rule out an emergency, but it can't treat most anal pain — you'll usually be referred to a colorectal surgeon anyway, after hours of waiting and a large bill. Here, you start with the specialist: examination, diagnosis, and in many cases treatment in the same visit.
What to expect
1. Call - A real person answers during open hours and books you, often for the same day. After hours, call or email and we'll book you for the next day. 2. Be seen - Private exam with the surgeon. You'll get a diagnosis and plan. 3. Get relief - Many conditions (thrombosed hemorrhoids, abscesses) can be treated in-office the same day — with Nitronox® (nitrous oxide) available for procedure comfort, so pain relief doesn't have to hurt. Pricing: All fees quoted upfront before your visit. No balance billing, no surprise invoices.
When to go to the ER
Go to the emergency room now if you have: high fever with severe pain, heavy uncontrolled bleeding, inability to urinate, or rapidly spreading redness/swelling.
