How do I see a doctor?

Are you in the us? If so, and assuming you have insurance, check your insurance to see whether you can see a specialist without a referral. If so, contact a colorectal surgeon/proctologist who is in your network (you can figure this out on your insurance website/portal).

If you need a referral, you need to get established with a primary care doc first and ask them for the referral. Again, find a general practice doctor in your network, call them and tell them you are a new patient and you want an appointment. The PCP can look at your hems but better to see a specialist. You will have to fill out some paperwork either way. Once established with this doctor, tell them you need a referral to a specialist.
