Each March, physicians’ dedication and invaluable contributions are recognized on National Doctors’ Day. At USA Hemorrhoid Centers, we want to recognize our doctors every day for their expertise, compassion, and commitment to patient-centered care.
See Our Team Share Their Perspective
To understand what drives our physicians, our CEO and Founder, Yan Katsnelson, MD, recently shared the vision behind USA Clinics Group, a large network of outpatient clinics, which includes USA Hemorrhoid Centers. The philosophy shared by our team of specialists is simple: to improve lives by making effective treatments more accessible and convenient, allowing patients to return to their daily routines without painful symptoms.
Katsnelson described his time as a heart surgeon as a transformative experience. Restoring heart function was deeply rewarding, but he saw the potential for less invasive procedures to achieve similar, impactful results.
“That’s the magic of today’s medicine, minimally invasive treatments for very common conditions,” said Dr. Katsnelson. “Procedures with minimal to no risk and extraordinary outcomes.”
This commitment drives USA Hemorrhoid Centers to focus on providing nonsurgical hemorrhoid treatments for chronic symptoms that significantly impact patients’ daily lives.
A Better Way: Minimally Invasive Treatments
Dr. Katsnelson’s transition from performing complex surgeries to pioneering a patient-first philosophy of care was driven by outcomes. He saw firsthand how advanced techniques could offer relief without hospitalization, long recovery times, or invasive procedures.
“Patients who had struggled with discomfort and embarrassment for years were suddenly able to find relief with a quick, outpatient procedure,” Dr. Katsnelson recalled. “Seeing how much their daily lives improved was incredibly motivating.”
Katsnelson believes medicine extends beyond treating individual patients, it’s about building a system rooted in consistency and compassion to ensure care is accessible and effective for all. This approach allows thousands of patients to receive treatment from highly skilled physicians without lengthy recovery times.
Expanding Care to Those in Need
Ensuring consistent, high-quality patient care is at the heart of USA Hemorrhoid Centers’ mission. Dr. Katsnelson emphasized the importance of standardized protocols, rigorous training, and state-of-the-art management systems that integrate clinical best practices. This structured approach allows our specialists to provide accessible and advanced treatment in every community we serve.
Recognizing the impact of minimally invasive treatments offered, USA Clinics Group was launched to offer care for conditions including varicose and spider veins, knee arthritis, peripheral artery disease (PAD), enlarged prostates, hemorrhoids, uterine fibroids, and preventative CT scans.
