Your digestive health plays a major role in your overall well-being. Whether you’re struggling with chronic abdominal pain, bowel problems, or need evaluation for possible colon disease, you deserve expert, compassionate care.
Dr. Steve Siegal, a board-certified, fellowship-trained surgeon in Fort Myers, specializes in diagnosing and treating a full range of gastrointestinal (GI) and colon conditions, using the latest minimally invasive techniques to help you recover faster and feel better.
Your gastrointestinal (GI) tract includes your esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon (large intestine), rectum, and related organs. Problems in this system can lead to pain, discomfort, and serious health issues if left untreated.
If you have symptoms like unexplained belly pain, rectal bleeding, or a change in bowel habits, don’t wait — early diagnosis means better treatment options.
Colon surgery may be recommended when medications or lifestyle changes don’t control your condition, or if there’s a risk of complications.
For cancer surgery, he follows strict oncologic principles to ensure complete removal of cancerous tissue, clear margins, and appropriate lymph node sampling — all to reduce the chance of recurrence.
A colonoscopy is the gold-standard screening tool for detecting colon cancer and other colon diseases early, when they’re most treatable.
Regular colonoscopies save lives by finding cancer early — or stopping it before it starts.
Every patient is different. Dr. Siegal customizes your care based on your diagnosis, health history, and lifestyle.
He treats swallowing and stomach disorders, gastroparesis, achalasia, colon cancer, diverticulitis, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, colon polyps, and other complex colon and rectal conditions.
No — Dr. Siegal specializes in minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques, which mean smaller cuts, less pain, and quicker recovery.
Most patients stay in the hospital for a few days and return to normal activities within 2–4 weeks, depending on the type of procedure.
Most healthy adults should have a colonoscopy every 10 years starting at age 45 — or sooner if you have personal or family risk factors.
No — you’ll be sedated for comfort. Most patients say they don’t remember the procedure and feel fine afterward.
