Gastroenterology: A gastroenterologist is the type of doctor who mainly diagnosis and treats colon diseases. A colon and rectal surgeon and also general surgeons do surgery on the colon. Usually, but of course not always the surgeons are called after a different doctor makes a diagnosis and needs the patient to have an operation, as in colon cancer, trauma, fistulas, bad infections, many others.
