Jason Kauffman, DO Cedars Sinai Anal Dysplasia Clinic Anal Dysplasia Specialist 310.423.4720 phone 8820 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 110 Beverly Hills, CA 90211 My name is Jason Kauffman and I studied medicine at Touro University in the San Francisco Bay area. My residency was at the University of Arizona in Family Medicine. I started doing High Resolution Anoscopy at UCSF in 2014 and was trained by Michael Berry and Naomi Jay, two of the top people in the world performing High Resolution Anoscopy. On June 1, 2022, I started at Cedars-Sinai Anal Dysplasia Clinic in Beverly Hills working with Alen Voskanian, MD. Men who have sex with men, People living with HIV and immunosuppressed people have a higher risk of developing anal cancer than the general population. We recommend that you get screened for anal cancer if you are in these groups with an anal cytology also known as an anal pap. If the anal cytology is abnormal, it is recommended that you have a High Resolution Anoscopy. High Resolution Anoscopy is an examination of the anal canal using a microscope, acetic acid and lugol's solution to identify precancerous lesions and/or anal warts. If lesions are found, we can remove them using a hyfrecator which just superficially burns the tissue off. At your first visit, I will take your history, discuss the Human Papilloma Virus (which causes precancerous lesions and anal cancer), and perform a 15 minute examination of the anal canal. There is no preparation for the exam and most people tolerate the exam well. If I see something that looks like it might be precancerous, I will perform a small painless biopsy. If the biopsy turns out to be precancerous, we will then arrange a time to treat the lesions. Don't hesitate to contact my office if you have any questions.
