Ohio Valley Colon and Rectal Surgeons has been serving the Tri-State Region for over fifty years. Upon leaving medical surgical residencies, our surgeons were board certified by the American Board of Surgery. In addition, all our surgeons are board certified by the American Board of Colon & Rectal Surgery. That means that in addition to studying and meeting the criteria for practicing as general surgeons, they completed additional residencies specifically for colon and rectal surgery. They are board certified in two disciplines. From Evansville, the next nearest physician with these credentials is located one hundred miles away (Flora, IL, Louisville, KY, and Mooresville, IN).
We see patients in our office next to St. Mary's Medical Center, but we do procedures at St. Mary's, Deaconess, and Surgicare Ambulatory Surgical Center.

Colorectal cancer is the out-of-control growth of cells in the colon or rectum. These cells grow into masses, or tumors. Most colorectal cancers begin as polyps, which are growths attached to the inside of the colon or rectum.
Screening can save your life. Each year, more than 56,730 people die from colorectal cancer, and regular screening can prevent many of these deaths. This slow-growing cancer can take up to ten years to develop, which leaves a generously wide window of opportunity for screening.
