A lot's changed in the more than 30 years since, but FCRS has continued to pioneer advances in colon and rectal surgery.
Each practice location features a welcoming, spa-like environment and state-of-the-art diagnostics and surgical equipment. Patients can access same-day treatment for a wide range of anorectal health problems, including hemorrhoids, anal cancer, anal pain, rectal cancer, and fecal incontinence.
Whenever possible, the providers recommend minimally invasive treatments, like laparoscopy or robotic-assisted da Vinci surgery. These procedures allow for smaller incisions, shorter hospital stays, and a reduced risk of infection.
FCRS performs more than 45% of all colorectal procedures in Northern Virginia. The provider's knowledge and expertise don't go unnoticed. Many of the surgeons have even been voted "Best Doctors" and "Top Doctors" by Washingtonian and Northern Virginia magazines...
History
Established in 2019.
FCRS began in 1984 as a one-man surgical endeavor, when Dr. Donald Colvin opened Northern Virginia's first colon and rectal surgery office in McLean, VA. At that time, colon and rectal surgery was a relatively new concept in Northern Virginia, and in order to perform these advanced surgeries, Dr. Colvin had to buy and carry his own special set of instruments from hospital to hospital. Dr. Colvin's values of emphasizing meticulous surgical technique and scrupulous care for his patients laid the foundation for the growth of FCRS.
Since then, FCRS continued pioneering colon and rectal surgery throughout Northern Virginia, adding some of the nation's most highly skilled Fellowship-trained Board Certified Colorectal Surgeons, while investing its resources in their patients, including purchasing start of the art equipment, building convenient office locations, and developing their own outpatient surgery center equipped with the most advanced diagnostic and surgical capabilities available.
