Services
Hemorrhoid Treatments
Our non-surgical hemorrhoid treatments include infrared coagulation and rubber band ligation performed in-office. These procedures require no preparation and allow immediate return to normal activities. With over 1,000 procedures annually, our providers use a pulsing technique to minimize tissue damage while effectively treating hemorrhoids through gradual removal.
Infrared Coagulation
Infrared coagulation delivers targeted heat energy to shrink hemorrhoidal tissue using precise pulses. This office-based procedure offers minimal discomfort and immediate recovery, with reduced risks compared to traditional surgical methods. Patients typically require multiple sessions for optimal results, depending on hemorrhoid severity.
Colon Cancer Prevention
We provide comprehensive colon cancer prevention strategies including regular screenings and risk assessments. Our services identify and remove precancerous polyps during colonoscopies while offering lifestyle guidance to reduce cancer risk through dietary changes, exercise, and tobacco/alcohol management.
Rectal Disorder Diagnosis
Our providers specialize in diagnosing and treating various rectal conditions beyond hemorrhoids. During initial consultations, we evaluate symptoms like rectal bleeding, bowel habit changes, and abdominal pain to develop personalized treatment plans addressing both immediate concerns and long-term digestive health.
Patient Consultations
Confidential consultations focus on individual patient needs with personalized treatment recommendations. Our providers review medical histories, current medications, and symptoms to determine appropriate procedures while offering pre-visit guidance about medication adjustments and preparation requirements.

Report
I am a new patient of Sheri Grisso in the Port St Lucie Office. I had been suffering with Internal hemorrhoids' and a fissure for about a year. I had an appointment for a surgeon which was over two months away. During this waiting period my situation grew more painful so I desperately reached out to other experts in the field who could do "other procedures", and do them sooner as I was only getting worse. Thankfully Sherri's office had a spot for me the next day.
I was given some instructions including diet changes in order to prepare me better for the IRC. I went back in 2 weeks still feeling awful and fearful about the procedure I was going to have done. I had convinced myself I needed surgery in order to heal, uggghhh. I am THRILLED to report that one week after my first treatment of Silver Nitrate and IRC treatments I feel much better. I know the treatments are not a joy ride; butt, I am excited to be well on my way to a full recovery. Thank You Sheri and team, you know your stuff! XOXO

Report
Most horrific experience of my life. Went in for painful hemorrhoids, and the NP "dilated my rectal muscle" without consent. Told me she was performing a rectal exam, and performed a procedure that she was able to charge my insurance $700. Then told me to come back to have this procedure performed every two weeks. Caused a massive rectal fissure that left me seeing a rectal surgeon for nearly six months in complete agony.
The rectal surgeon assured me this procedure was 100% unnecessary. When I called the office crying in unbearable pain and suffering spasms, she refused to help me. Acted like she didn't know I was a patient of hers. Be forewarned. This office is dangerous, performs unnecessary procedures (without informed consent), then takes no accountability. Please see another physician who will care for you with dignity and respect.
