Frequently Asked Questions
Helpful answers about colorectal surgery, colon and rectal conditions, robotic surgery, insurance, locations, and appointments with colorectal surgeon in Broward County and South Florida.
A colorectal surgeon (also called a proctologist) is a board-certified specialist who diagnoses and treats conditions of the colon, rectum, and anus. This includes colorectal cancer, hemorrhoids, anal fissures, diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis), rectal prolapse, and colon polyps. Colorectal surgeons complete advanced fellowship training beyond general surgery residency.
Yes. Dr. Astha Bhatt is a board-certified colorectal surgeon and fellowship-trained general surgeon practicing in Broward County, Florida. She specializes in advanced colorectal surgery, robotic surgery, minimally invasive procedures, hernia repair, and gallbladder surgery. Her training includes a Johns Hopkins–affiliated general surgery residency and a dedicated colorectal surgery fellowship.
Our practice treats a comprehensive range of conditions including colorectal cancer, rectal cancer, colon cancer, hemorrhoids, anal fissures, anal fistulas, diverticulitis, rectal prolapse, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis), colon polyps, fecal incontinence, gallbladder disease, hernias (inguinal, umbilical, incisional, ventral), and rectal bleeding.
Fellowship-trained colorectal surgeons complete an additional 1–2 years of advanced, subspecialty training exclusively focused on colorectal diseases and surgery after completing a 5-year general surgery residency. This specialized expertise results in higher surgical precision, better patient outcomes, access to advanced robotic and laparoscopic techniques, and a deeper understanding of complex colorectal conditions.
You should schedule a consultation with a colorectal surgeon if you experience rectal bleeding, changes in bowel habits lasting more than 2 weeks, unexplained weight loss, persistent abdominal pain, a colorectal cancer diagnosis, a family history of colon cancer, hemorrhoids that have not responded to conservative treatment, or if you have been referred for colorectal cancer screening or polyp removal.
Your first visit will include a thorough medical history review, discussion of your symptoms and concerns, a focused physical examination, and a clear explanation of your diagnosis and all available treatment options. Dr. Bhatt is committed to transparent communication — patients leave their consultation with a complete understanding of their condition and a personalized treatment plan.

No. Not every colorectal or general surgery condition requires an operation. Many conditions — including mild hemorrhoids, small anal fissures, and early diverticulitis — can be effectively managed with medications, dietary changes, or non-surgical procedures. Our approach is to always explore conservative treatments first and recommend surgery only when it is the safest and most effective path to recovery.
Yes. Our surgeon is trained in advanced robotic surgery and laparoscopic (minimally invasive) techniques for colorectal surgery, hernia repair, gallbladder removal (robotic cholecystectomy), and other general surgery procedures. Robotic and laparoscopic surgery typically means smaller incisions, less pain, reduced risk of complications, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
Our practice accepts most major insurance plans. Surgical privileges are held at leading Broward County and South Florida hospitals including Broward Health North (Pompano Beach), HCA Florida University Hospital (Davie), HCA Florida Woodmont Hospital (Tamarac), Broward Health Imperial Point (Fort Lauderdale), HCA Florida Northwest Hospital (Margate), Holy Cross Hospital Outpatient Surgery Center, West Boca Medical Center, and Surgery Center of Coral Springs.
