A Commitment to Medical Innovation
Dr. Pearlman and Dr. Damadi embraced the principles of minimally-invasive surgery early on; they now perform 95% of their surgeries using laparoscopic techniques. These procedures utilize small cameras and surgical equipment to minimize scarring and to accelerate the post-operation healing process. For more complicated surgeries, they work together as a team, providing twice the expertise for you or your family.

Dedication to Our Patients
Going into the colorectal surgeon’s office can be a frightening experience. Many of the patients sitting in our waiting room are there for the first time, waiting to receive a colonoscopy (the traditional procedure for colon cancer screening) whose findings may change the patient’s life. Others are coming to us for a colorectal surgical consult, perhaps to remove a suspicious polyp, or even a cancerous tumor. We understand your fears and we want to do everything we can to eliminate them. Please read more about our patient-centered approach to medical practice by clicking here.
