I have a case of diverticulitis, and luckily my primary doctor referred me to Dr. Yavrouian. He performed a colonoscopy first and that went well. After my results we went on and he talked about what was best for me. Surgery was it! I was very nervous about surgery but as soon as he talked to me right before the procedure I ended up easing up. He has such a calm trait that would make any patient feel safe. I absolutely loved being his patient. Now it's been a little over a month since surgery and I feel great.

A very caring and professional physician. It was easy to book appointment with Dr. Yavrouian and the appointment ran on time. I felt very comfortable with his recommendations and he answered all my questions. I truly felt like I put my care in great hands.

Dr. Yavrouian has been a life savor for my father. He is thorough and patient. He has good bedside manners and willing to answer all our questions. We have had him as my father's specialist for a couple of years and so far so good.

I cannot say enough great thing about Dr. Robert Yavrouian. He performed 3 different successful colon surgeries which I recovered rapidly and without complications from. He is so thorough and thoughtful. He takes the time to explain and answer questions patiently. I would highly recommend him.

What treatment do you recommend for my ulcerative colitis? What are the side effects?

The mainstay of treatment for UC is medical. There are many medications and classes of medications available for treatment of UC. The medication(s) used depends on the individual patient's disease pattern and severity. It also depends on whether the patient is being treated for an acute flare up or for chronic maintenance. Of course each medication has its own side effect profile. Usually a gastroenterologist treats UC medically. Sometimes medical treatment no longer works or a patient has an emergency or a complication, and in these situation surgery may be recommended.

What are the possible complications of ulcerative colitis?
