I am 29 years old, and have had my anal skin tag since I was about 10 years old. It's never caused me any pain or itching, it would just swell from time to time if my bathing suit or thong caused too much friction against it.
I decided to finally look into getting it removed because aesthetically, I wanted to look normal down there. I just moved to Houston and upon a zocdoc search, found Dr. Konya Keeling-Johnson of the Houston Southwest Colon and Rectal Clinic. She and her team were amazing. My 1st appointment was comfortable, and she was able to confidently diagnose exactly what it was. She convinced me to do the procedure in-office, as going under for a surgery would cost me thousands.
2 weeks later, I come in for the procedure, and was slightly nervous about the numbing portion - she did tell me the burning from the numbing needle would be the most uncomfortable part. They applied adhesive pads to my bottom, and sprayed the opening of my rectum with cryo spray, which was so cold that it burned a bit. She then went in with the numbing needle in about 4 different places, which definitely hurt as much as she said it would, but once I was numb, I was NUMB. Due to the size, she took the tag off with fire, and you could see the smoke and also smell it burning off, which was so interesting. It was off in 5 minutes, and when she showed me what came out of me, I was in total shock! It was huge! I've attached pictures.
I left bandaged up with gauze, and two prescriptions for a pain medication, and anti-inflammatory medication. I drove myself home and was completely comfortable. I wish I would've had this procedure sooner, and am so happy I went through with saving so much money doing it in-office. Wasn't traumatic or too painful whatsoever, and highly recommend!

August 5, 2015Gregory J.Verified patient
I was referred for surgery to Dr. Konya Keeling-Johnson by my excellent Gastroenterologist Dr. Vivian Asamoah and both ladies are outstanding medical professionals while also warm and genuinely caring. From the first appointment with Doctor Konya K-J I have felt comfortable as a patient because I could sense that she was excellently prepared and experienced. She and her staff are punctual therefore I never had to wait longer than 5 minutes. Dr. Konya clearly explained the procedure I would be having and the post-operative measures I needed to follow. Whenever I needed information both she and her staff were immediately available and their directions to me were most helpful. Without any hesitation I highly recommend Dr. Konya Keeling-Johnson, and like me, you will be glad to have her as your doctor and friend. - Allan S.
