Founded in 2000, CRH Medical Corporation is dedicated to providing compassionate care and informative educational resources to patients.
Back in 2002, we first encountered what is now known as the CRH O’Regan System, and immediately saw its potential for improving life for the millions of people who suffer from hemorrhoids.
We began training doctors across the United States to offer this patented, FDA-approved procedure in 2008, allowing us to make this important treatment available to people across the country. Today, over 1,000 physicians’ offices offer the CRH solution, with thousands of patients getting complete relief from their hemorrhoids each year.
CRH Medical Corporation is led by an experienced, passionate team of executives:
