Patient Stories
Paula H., Millbury, MA Colon Cancer
I had a colonoscopy and found I needed surgery for a cancerous growth on my small bowel. My surgeon at UMass Memorial, Dr. Maykel, was very knowledgeable about my situation.
Deidre L., Worcester, MA Colon Cancer
During a routine colonoscopy, my doctor found something that required additional testing.
Mary D., Marlborough, MA Diverticulitis
I am a nurse, but I had to stop working prior to my surgery because the symptoms of diverticulitis wore me down.
Michelle C., Worcester, MA Hemorrhoids
For over 10 years, I suffered with hemorrhoids. It got to the point where I couldn’t sit or stand comfortably.
