Find a ProviderWhat are hemorrhoids?
Hemorrhoids are a collection of blood vessels in the lower rectum. Everyone is born with hemorrhoids as a normal part of the vascular tissue in the rectum. However, hemorrhoidal tissue can enlarge and may require treatment when the veins enlarged and become painful or irritating. If you believe you are experiencing pain due to a hemorrhoid, request an appointment with our gastrointestinal specialists at Gastroenterology Associates of Florida.
What is hemorrhoid energy therapy using the HET™ Bipolar System?
The HET Bipolar System is a proprietary technology that allows for the gentle, simple, and efficient non-surgical treatment of symptomatic low-grade (grades I and II) hemorrhoids in a single procedure. The energy is kept at a low-temperature level to reduce the feeling of pain. It is also kept below the dentate line (the line that divides the upper two-thirds and lower third of the anal canal).
When approaching treatment this way, it means that it is completed in the area where the body doesn’t feel much pain. The less you feel pain, the more comfortable you will feel during your treatment. For more information on this procedure, ask your Gastroenterology Associates of Florida provider about how hemorrhoid treatment above the “pain line” could result in a hemorrhoid removal procedure with minimal discomfort.
What are the benefits of using the HET Bipolar System?
The main benefit of using the HET Bipolar System is that it’s a fast therapy that typically takes only seconds to complete. When compared to other hemorrhoid treatment options like banding and infrared coagulation procedures, its difference is that it is done in a single appointment.
Additionally, when a hemorrhoid is treated using the HET System, it can treat multiple hemorrhoids in a single therapy session. The HET Bipolar System enables more efficient treatment of grades I and II internal hemorrhoids as compared to techniques like banding because it typically only requires one session.
If you believe you would benefit from this treatment, contact our providers at Gastroenterology Associates of Florida so that we can schedule a consultation that works best with your schedule.
Am I a good candidate for the HET Bipolar treatment?
You are a good candidate for HET Bipolar hemorrhoid treatment if you have been diagnosed with a mild-to-moderate internal hemorrhoid. While both internal and external hemorrhoids are called hemorrhoids, these internal and external conditions are different – they cause different symptoms and are treated differently.
Our Gastroenterology Associates of Florida GI doctor can tell you whether your hemorrhoid symptoms are internal or external. Grades I and II internal hemorrhoids are considered mild-to-moderate and can be treated with non-surgical methods using the HET system. Schedule a consultation with us to learn more.

Good doctor The office staff is ver helpful as well
Great Doc and staff!! Excellent care. Office staff professional, efficient. No problems!!!
Dr Rosenfield is very kind and knowledgable, and generous with his time to answer all my questions and concerns. I would highly recommend him.
I am a patient of Dr. Taryn Silverstein for the past six months. I went to see her when I was in extreme discomfort from a GI episode. I live in Miami and drove 1.5 hours just to see her after reading all of her amazing reviews. She took her time with me and listening attentively to everything I had to say. Since that time I have been back two other times for further evaluation and review of test results and she was equally patient, understanding and calming. She not only does a thorough review of you clinically; but also physically exams you. I am highly impressed and amazed by the use of the GI Alliance portal and how quickly Dr. Silverstein has responded to all my messages within 24 hours. I can't begin to stress how incredibly impressed I am by this. She even took the time to call me personally on a Friday later afternoon to offer me reassurance to what was going on with me medically. I am still in the process of doing further tests; etc; but no matter what the outcome is I feel confident in my choice of this incredible physician. I know I will be heard and well taken care of. In this day and age a physician such as Dr. Silverstein is a rarity. Her energy and positive attitude only adds to her amazing qualities. I feel blessed that I found her.
Love Dr. Simon! Professional, excellent doctor, great bedside manner. Colonoscopy was an easy procedure and the Atlantis facility is a smooth operation from start to finish. In and out in no time (no pun intended!)
