Diagnosis & Treatment

Diagnosis Using Proctology

At the Digestive Disease Institute at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, our team of specialists are highly trained in a variety of procedures for the diagnosis and therapeutic treatment of disorders of the anus and rectum.

Our multidisciplinary care team offers patients examinations in a dignified setting. During the appointment with a colon and rectal physician, the doctor will spend time with the patient to better understand his/her symptoms and concerns. An examination is then performed, followed by a discussion of appropriate treatment options.

Treatment with Proctology

After the examination, testing, and discussion with their physician, each patient receives a customized treatment plan tailored to their specific needs. Physicians make every effort to treat patients as conservatively as possible, avoiding surgery except in the most serious or complex cases.
