We used to be able to look up our surgeons on the Canadian Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeon's website, but they've recently revamped their site and no longer have a list (it says it's "coming soon").
In Toronto, many surgeons who perform colon and rectal surgeries are listed as "general surgeons", but those listed on the site mentioned above consider their specialty to be in that field. I wish that they still had the list up (I even tried to find a cached page!), but maybe they'll have it back soon. My own surgeon is classified by Sunnybrook as a general surgeon, but 95% of his surgeries are of the colo-rectal variety.
Great that you'll be seeing him again soon and I'm sure that he'll alleviate any concerns that you have.
