Houston Colon and Rectal Surgery – Spring Office — Local services in Spring

A couple months ago I suffered from severe pain in my lower abdomen which caused much difficulty when going to the restroom. My rating on this pain was a 10. After several Doctors failed to determine the source of my pain, I was lucky at last to have my gynecologist confirm it was a colon problem and that I needed to seek out the help of a specialist. My journey to Dr. Azimuddin was not an easy one as I was initially scheduled to have the procedure done in Miami. Due to a tropical storm my appointment was cancelled so I decided to head to Texas where I had family. My sister searched online for Colon specialist and there was Dr. Azimuddin of the Houston Colon & Rectal surgery with great reviews. Honestly my encounter with Dr. Azimuddin can only be described as ‘A Blessing’. In a nutshell, we emailed him in the evening for an urgent appointment given my level of pain. Imagine, Dr. Azimuddin was online and responded immediately confirming that he would fit me in for an appointment the next day. He was able to review all paper work and advise all next steps in order to have the procedure done quickly. A colonoscopy was done to confirm source of pain followed by a colon resection. I vouch that Dr. Azimuddin and his team lived up to their commitment to the patient of:

1. Immediate access to care
2. Complete Evaluation of GI Tract
3. Rapid Relief of Symptoms
4. Individualized Treatment for me In addition, I felt very comfortable knowing that I was being attended to by someone with so much experience and knowledge in his field. The level of professionalism was impeccable and I knew from my first appointment that I would be ok. My surgery was minimally invasive and my recovery has been nothing short of amazing. Thank you Dr. Azimuddin for making me pain free and able to live life to the...

I am 7 weeks out from Hemorrhoidectomy Surgery for stage 3 and 4 internal and external hemorrhoids, done by Dr. Azimuddin. I have to tell you this is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I first experienced hemorrhoids over 30 years ago, but it has gotten worse in the last 5 years. After every bowel movement I have had to push the hemorrhoids back in, and had to sit down for 30min to an hour and wait for the swelling to go down. I had to change jobs from one where I walked alot to a desk job. Because too much standing and walking would cause my hemorrhoids to come out, and sometimes bleed. I love to golf, but I could never walk the course, due to hemorrhoids, I had to have a cart to sit down on to push my hemorrhoids back in. Dr. Azimuddin did a fantastic job, I no longer have hemorrhoids, it is so strange not to have them. I can walk, jog, and run w/o worrying about hemorrhoids now. I am a New Man! But the surgery is not a Cake Walk, the first 3-4 days were really tough! You have to listen to Dr. Azimuddin and keep your stools soft! The first 3-4 days the pain is the worst, but trust me it gets better. After the first week I felt better. You will feel much better two weeks out, and was able to go back to work. But still took it easy. After 6 weeks you should be back to normal, and living your new active life. I am back to my normal diet, but have added a daily stool softener to my diet. It just makes it easier to have bowel movements. If you do nothing your life will not change, if it is time, let Dr. Azimuddin do his thing! He did an Amazing Job on me, I am...

I normally do not leave reviews, I am almost 4 months out from my surgery. I was so impressed with Dr. Azimuddin, he was very caring and empathetic with my concerns about my colon fistula surgery and post op pain management and my medications that I just could not stop taking that I had been on for years, He took the time and sat at his desk with me and went over my medications, records and concerns (fears...lol) that I had. Dr Azi did not know, but my daughter was the one who found him as I had been to another facility and decided I was not going to do this surgery, but after talking with Dr. Azi, I just felt like I was in good hands. I could see he took his work, patients and skills very seriously. Every staff member who worked with him had nothing but great things to say about this Dr. and everything we discussed; Dr Azi lived up to his words!! The ERAS pain management worked incredibly well with me, I was surprised how well it did work, that I did not need any opioids and I was not in any pain with this protocol, I was up and walking pretty quickly after surgery and released to go home 2 days after my surgery. During my last appointment, I joked with him and asked if he could do any and all my surgeries I would need because back in the day, General Surgeons were allowed to. My family and I are so grateful for this Dr.! Thank You Dr.Azi, you were my last interview as I was giving up on the medical establishment........
