Dr. Chung specializes in a variety of colorectal conditions
His facility employs cutting-edge technology and innovative treatment methods to effectively address both common and complex conditions.
Anal Cancer
Anal cancer is rare but serious—and often treatable when caught early. If you’re experiencing symptoms like bleeding, pain, or changes in bowel habits, don’t wait to get checked. Early evaluation can make all the difference.
Anal Fissure
Anal fissures can make every bowel movement painful, but relief is possible. With the right treatment, healing can begin quickly and recurrences can often be prevented.
Anal Fistula
Anal fistulas can cause ongoing drainage, pain, and infection if left untreated. Specialized care is key to resolving the issue and preventing it from coming back.
Colon Cancer Surgery
Surgery is often a key part of treating colon cancer, offering the best chance for removing the disease and preventing spread. When handled with precision and care, it can be a life-saving step toward recovery.
Colon Polyp
Colon polyps often show no symptoms but can develop into something more serious over time. Early detection and removal are key to preventing complications and protecting your long-term health.
Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer often develops without warning signs, making early screening essential. When caught early, treatment is more effective and outcomes improve significantly.
Colorectal Conditions
Colorectal conditions can range from mild discomfort to serious health concerns. Understanding the cause is the first step toward effective relief and long-term wellness. Expert evaluation matters.
Crohn’s Disease
Crohn’s disease is a lifelong inflammatory condition that can affect any part of the digestive tract. With expert care and a personalized treatment plan, symptoms can be managed and flares minimized.
Diverticulitis Treatment
Diverticulitis can cause sudden abdominal pain, fever, and digestive issues. Prompt treatment helps control infection, reduce complications, and keep symptoms from coming back.
Fecal Incontinence
Fecal incontinence can be distressing, but it’s more common than you think—and highly treatable. With the right approach, you can regain control and confidence.
Hemorrhoid
Hemorrhoids are a common source of pain, itching, and bleeding—but they don’t have to be. Effective, targeted treatments can relieve discomfort and get you back to feeling normal.
Laser Treatment for Hemorrhoids and Anal Fistulas
Laser treatment offers a precise, minimally invasive option for managing hemorrhoids and anal fistulas. It’s designed to reduce pain, speed up recovery, and minimize disruption to your daily life.
Rectal Bleeding
Rectal bleeding is never normal. Whether it’s occasional or persistent, it deserves a proper evaluation. Get clarity and treatment options that address the cause, not just the symptoms.
Rectal Cancer Surgery
Rectal cancer can develop quietly, often without obvious symptoms in the early stages. Timely screening and diagnosis are essential for effective treatment and better outcomes.
Ulcerative Colitis
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic condition that affects the colon and can disrupt daily life with unpredictable flare-ups. With the right treatment plan, it’s possible to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
