Proctologist is a dated term that is used to describe medical professionals that are responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of individuals with disorders of the colorectal system, which comprises the anus, rectum and the lower intestine. After a certain age, it is recommended that individuals at risk for certain conditions such as prostate cancer see a proctologist or a colorectal surgeon in order to undergo screening every year. In addition, those with conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, hirschsprung’s disease and a family history of colorectal cancer must all see a colorectal surgeon in order to stay safe through regular screenings and early detection of any anomalies. Even though these specialists play a vital role in the health of millions of people, not all of them do the right thing and consequently end up hurting those that come to them in order to seek out help. If you were a victim of proctologist malpractice or colorectal surgery malpractice, you have every right to seek justice and compensation for your injuries, and we’re here to help with that.

3. Failure to offer the patient follow-up care after treatment or surgery
