My clinic deals with all gastrointestinal motility disorders with a focus on severe constipation and severe fecal incontinence. I have developed High-Resolution Colonic Motility so that I can diagnose dysfunction of the colon, the rectum and the anal sphincters. I assess the neural reflexes that are needed for normal defecation. This can prevent surgery. My focus for diagnosis of pathophysiology is the autonomic nervous system. I am assessing autonomic dysfunction and can help patients recover through neuromodulation of the sacral spinal nerves.
