Advanced Colorectal & Anal Surgery Care Near You
At Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare (TMH), we specialize in diagnosing and treating colon, rectal and anal disorders for patients throughout North Florida and South Georgia, including Tallahassee, Quincy, Monticello, Bainbridge and Thomasville.
Your large intestine includes the colon, rectum and anus—key areas responsible for processing and eliminating waste. These organs can be impacted by a range of colorectal conditions. Early recognition of symptoms and timely treatment by a colorectal specialist in Tallahassee can prevent serious complications.
Colorectal Conditions We Treat at TMH
If you’re experiencing changes in bowel habits, rectal bleeding, or digestive pain, our expert team offers comprehensive evaluation and advanced care for:
Small tears in the anal lining caused by hard stools or chronic constipation. Symptoms include sharp pain, bleeding, and discomfort during or after bowel movements.
Cancer affecting the colon or rectum, often developing from polyps. We emphasize early detection through screening colonoscopies to improve outcomes.
An inflammatory bowel condition that may affect any part of the digestive tract. Common symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue and weight loss.
Swollen veins in the anus or lower rectum causing pain, itching, and bleeding—often from straining or prolonged sitting.
Chronic inflammation of the digestive tract, including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, requiring ongoing management and potential surgical support.
Formation of small pouches (diverticula) in the colon lining that can become inflamed, leading to abdominal pain and fever.
A functional GI disorder causing bloating, gas, diarrhea, and constipation. Treatment often includes dietary and stress management.
An abnormal connection between the rectum and vagina that may result in fecal leakage or gas from the vagina, often requiring surgical correction.
Chronic inflammation and ulcers in the colon and rectum, leading to pain, diarrhea, rectal bleeding, and fatigue.

At TMH, we provide personalized treatment plans for colorectal conditions, starting with conservative therapies and advancing to robotic or minimally invasive surgery when needed.
Lifestyle & Diet
High-fiber diets, increased water intake, and reduced straining can relieve many symptoms.
Medications
Topical ointments, anti-inflammatory drugs, stool softeners, or probiotics may be prescribed based on your diagnosis.
Outpatient Procedures
Non-surgical interventions like rubber band ligation for hemorrhoids offer relief with minimal downtime.
