Dr. Donald Colantino answered

Hemorrhoids: A colorectal surgeon is best qualified to remove hemorrhoids. Internal hemorrhoids may be removed by banding and can be done in the office setting. External hemorrhoids require a surgical procedure for removal,however. Some proctologists can also perform these procedures.
