The Endoscopy Unit offers colonoscopy in a warm and compassionate
hospital setting. A colonoscopy can help your physician find polyps and
remove them before they become cancerous. Colorectal cancer (cancer of
the colon or rectum) can be prevented and treated successfully if
detected early. Routine screening by colonoscopy offers the best method
of discovering colorectal cancer at a treatable stage. The American
Cancer Society recommends that screening begin at age 50 for both men
and women. Most major healthcare insurance providers cover the screening
colonoscopy. Our highly trained physicians, anesthesiologists and staff
have over 25 years of experience in performing colonoscopies, ensuring
the optimum in patient comfort and high-quality results in the safest
surrounding.
