Colorectal surgery is a field of medicine dealing with disorders of the rectum, anus, and colon. The field is also known as proctology; however, this term is now used infrequently within medicine and is most often employed to identify practices relating to the anus and rectum in particular. A colorectal surgeon is a general surgeon who has undergone further training in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the colon, rectum, and anus.

On a more personal note, Dr. Fabrizio grew up in Seattle. When she and her husband are not working, they enjoy traveling, camping, hiking, as well as visiting museums and renowned restaurants.
