It’s time to break the silence around f***l incontinence. Too often, patients suffer in silence, unaware that help is available.
Does the following sound familiar?
👉Frequent bowel accidents
👉Monitoring what and how much you eat
👉Using pads or protective garments
👉Planning activities around the bathroom
Paragon Colorectal Care offers InterStim™ therapy by Medtronic, a minimally invasive option for treating bowel control problems. The InterStim system uses mild electrical pulses to stimulate the sacral nerves, which help manage bowel movements. The best part? It starts with a test phase to ensure it works for you. There is no drastic surgery, no permanent changes—just real results. For many patients, it leads to fewer accidents, less urgency, and the freedom to live life with less fear. Call us to schedule a consultation.

Is your gallbladder causing trouble? If you’ve been experiencing nausea after eating, pain in the upper right abdomen, bloating, or ongoing indigestion, it could be a sign that your gallbladder isn’t functioning properly. These symptoms often indicate gallstones or inflammation, which can be detected through an ultrasound. At Paragon Surgical Specialists, we offer expert evaluation and surgical care—including minimally invasive gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy)—to help you feel better and recover faster.

Colorectal surgeon Dr. Benny Chong of Paragon Colorectal Care shares why screening is one of the most powerful tools we have to detect and prevent colorectal cancer. Most colorectal cancers begin as small polyps that can be found and removed during screening. Starting at age 45, screening is recommended for many adults, and earlier if you have certain risk factors or a family history. Taking a proactive step today could make a life-saving difference tomorrow. Make your colorectal health part of the conversation. Paragon Surgical
