• Through our meticulous diagnostic assessment, we are often able to guide our colleagues in the effective treatment of their patients with anal disorders.

Any medical recommendation or treatment (surgical or conservative) is provided and completed after exhaustive diagnostic assessment. For this reason, we request from the patient to endure any inconvenience caused by meticulous diagnostic procedures. Medical advice given in our clinic is absolutely sincere. There is no intention of financial gain or any possible surgery. Most often simple procedures are completed instantly in our clinic without any hospital admission.
