Dr. Maz is the best! I was so nervous coming in to have him look in such a private and sensitive area but he made me feel so comfortable and at ease. He is so knowledgeable and truly caring. He even does cosmetic work down there! I was shy to ask, but when I did, he took the time to educate me and tell me all my options. I am grateful for his professional demeanor and his genuine care and concern for my condition. ~ YELP

What is proctology?
Proctology is a surgical specialty focused on the treatment of the lower gastrointestinal tract, consisting of the anal, rectal and perianal (around the anus) regions. Proctology overlaps with many specialties such as surgery, gastroenterology, urology, gynecology and dermatology.
Proctologists perform a wide range of screening, surgical and nonsurgical procedures. Therefore, proctology deals with the surgical, nonsurgical, and endoscopic (colonoscopy) diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the entire lower gastrointestinal tract including the intestines, rectum, anus, and pelvic floor, as well as the skin around the anal opening (perianal dermatology).
