After several episodes of rectal bleeding over several years Dr. Vande Meale did a large bowel resection. Great to be enjoying life again.

Not only does he do surgeries, but he also does colonoscopies. If you want a a colonoscopy and the other physicians are refusing to do one for you, go to Dr. Dominique Vande Maele. He is willing to do a colonoscopy and EGD in the same day, whereas some other physicians will not. He is very ethical. He will do a colonoscopy on a person under the age of 50 for a patient who has chronic constipation or other bowel problems. He is a colon expert. I saw him at his office at 100 E Alton Gloor Blvd #260, in the building next to the hospital where he does his surgeries--Valley Regional Medical Center.
