In his clinical practice, Dr. Aaron Poh has consistently adhered to two fundamental tenets.

The majority of the surgical procedures he performs are minimally invasive keyhole procedures, including colon cancer surgery, hernia repair surgery, and cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal). Additionally, he provides multiple effective and contemporary treatment options for hemorrhoids (piles). Additionally, he performs surgery for buttock and anal conditions including abscesses, anal fistulas, and anal fissures.
