Colorectal surgeon: You can see a colorectal surgeon or a gastoenterologist. You can even start with a primary care doctor to help start treatment and arrange the referral.

General Surgeon: Any general surgeon should be able to deal with simple bleeding hemorrhoids. For more advanced treatment, see a colorectal surgeon. There are many good general surgeons in the flushing area.
