Colon and Rectal Surgery in New York
Our colon and rectal surgical practice is located in the Stich Building at East 70th Street and York Avenue, which is home to all of Weill Cornell Medicine's digestive diseases programs, including the Jay Monahan Center for Gastrointestinal Health and the Jill Roberts Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center.
Weill Cornell Medicine’s Colon and Rectal Surgery division provides a friendly and private office environment where multiple specialists,including experienced colon and rectal doctors, bring a singular focus to gastrointestinal problems. Patients across New York can find medical and surgical consultations, genetic counseling, and dietary management, as well as undergo diagnostic testing and endoscopic procedures – all under one roof.
