Preparing for a colonoscopy
Understand what to expect before, during, and after your colonoscopy so you can feel confident and comfortable throughout the process.
Preventive care through colonoscopy
A colonoscopy is one of the most effective ways to prevent colorectal cancer. During the procedure, your gastroenterologist checks for polyps or abnormal growths in the colon and removes them before they can become cancerous.
Regular screenings are recommended starting at age 45, or earlier if you have a family history of colon cancer. Early detection saves lives. Schedule your screening today.
