Specialties
Hemorrhoid
Most hemorrhoids can be managed at home. However, some hemorrhoids can become a serious health issue. If you have any symptoms of hemorrhoids for more than a week, you should make an appointment with Dr. Magdi Alexander.
Hernia
A hernia specialist should examine all hernias. Untreated hernias can increase in size and pain, evolving into potential life-threatening complications. If you believe you have a hernia, see Dr. Magdi Alexander immediately. He will confirm the diagnosis and discuss the best treatment options for you.
Gallbladder
Cholecystitis usually causes pain in the upper right abdomen. This pain may radiate from the right shoulder or back, and there will be tenderness over the abdomen when touched. Other symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and fever. These symptoms will often occur after a meal, especially large or fatty meals.
