Sentara has a team of three board-certified and fellowship trained colorectal surgeons to ensure optimal care for patients. Sentara Princess Anne Hospital is home to one of these surgeons.

With a strong foundation in the practice of general surgery, these physicians also have training, knowledge and skills in the medical and surgical management of diseases of the colon, rectum, anal canal, and intestinal tract.
