Colon Cancer Mortality Doubles if You Skip Your Colonoscopy
Why is colonoscopy known as the gold standard for colon cancer prevention? It is because colonoscopy can detect and prevent colon cancer in a single test.

I went in for my first colonoscopy, being nervous a bit, but the staff are all friendly and very professional. They made the experience as pleasant as could be and I was in and out in 2 hours. I would recommend this place.

From the time I arrived, I was taken care of. Reception was polite, kind and efficient. Char, my prep nurse got me ready. She listened to my concerns about losing my hearing aids and provided a means to protect them. Michael was my anesthesiologist. He made me feel safe and explained everything to me. Terry, the nurse who was there when I woke up, provided clear explanations of the findings and went over the post procedure instructions. Susan walked me out to the car. She was very kind and helpful. Dr. Fernandez was in charge of my procedure and he reported his findings clearly.

As close to a spa experience as you'll ever have getting a colonoscopy. Great, friendly kind, competent people. A warm blanket on the bed. That's right.
