Dr. Jeffrey Lake

An expert in the treatment of hemorrhoids, Dr. Jeffrey Lake serves patients throughout the San Fernando Valley as head of Valley Colorectal Surgeons. His Encino, CA, practice has introduced incisionless hemorrhoidectomies through the transanal hemorrhoid dearterialization (THD) technique. Employing ultrasound to detect and tie off hemorrhoids, THD minimizes the recovery time and pain associated with conventional surgical procedures. Dr. Jeffrey Lake and his colleagues also offer patients quality care for conditions such as anal fissures, anal fistulas, pruritis ani, anorectal warts, inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer.
