Colonoscopy Services – Prevention Is Key!
We can provide colonoscopy services before or during surgery. This includes rapid access to screening services with a simple referral process and a single form.
Colorectal screening is recommended for all adults beginning at age 50. A colonoscopy is a diagnostic test that allows the physician to look inside your large intestine, rectum, colon to the lower end of the small intestine. The procedure is used to look for early signs of cancer in the colon and rectum.
