“I’ve had IBS my whole life and had learned to live with it until
recently when I developed an anal fissure. The pain was one I have never
ever experienced in my life, even worse than childbirth. Dr. Maz was so
kind, gentle and informative. He healed the fissure without any surgery
and taught me tips and tricks to help manage my IBS symptoms. I’m so
indebted to Dr. Maz for all his help; you’ve really improved my quality
of life on a day to day basis”. ~ YELP
What is Irritable Bowel
Syndrome?
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a functional GI-related disorder
that commonly affects over 15% of the population. IBS affects the large

miscommunication or over-activity of the nervous system that controls
the muscles of the bowel. Other causes can include:
- Food allergies

the bowel wall - Intolerance to certain types of foods
- Stress
