Colonoscopies Save Lives

Recommended at age 45

If you’re 45 or older, it’s time for a screening colonoscopy. We know you don’t like to think about it, and the prep can be uncomfortable and inconvenient. But in the scheme of things, it is a minor inconvenience considering that colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men and women.

A colonoscopy screens for pre-cancer and cancer. Colonoscopies can show irritated or swollen tissues, ulcers, polyps and cancer. Early detection of colorectal cancer is easier to treat.

Your body is unique, so is our care
