Colon cancer is the third leading cause of cancer in the US. The good news is that colon cancer is very preventable and you are taking the best step by being screened for early signs. Everyone age 45 and over should have this test - even if there are no problems or symptoms. Anyone who has a family history of this type of cancer should have the test earlier. Consult with your physician.

Endoscopy-Bronchoscopy

We perform colonoscopies, gastroscopies, bronchoscopies, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).Our staff is composed of gastroenterologists, pulmonologists, registered nurses, and GI technicians.

The endoscopy-bronchoscopy department also wants to educate our community about the importance of screening colonoscopies. Please ask your primary care provider if you should have a screening colonoscopy examination. Colon cancer is a leading cause of death in the United States. Almost 70% of all colon cancers occur in individuals with no predisposing conditions or family history of colon cancer. Routine screening tests reduce the risk of dying from colon cancer by 33% to 50%.
