Peace of mind is just a screening away.
A colonoscopy helps find polyps that can be removed before they become cancerous. It can also identify colon and rectal cancers early, when the odds of successful treatment are highest. Colon and rectal cancer rates have increased in young and middle-aged adults.* If you’re 45 or older, ask your doctor about scheduling a colonoscopy.

Both gastroenterologists and general surgeons have a role in the journey of a patient with a GI tract issue. A gastroenterologist is a physician with dedicated training and unique experience in the management of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and liver. They are experts in the field, providing high-quality colonoscopy examinations, 内窥镜检查程序, and comprehensive consultative services. Medical management of a disease such as IBD or Crohn's would be within the scope of a GI specialist.
General surgeons also routinely perform colonoscopies and 内窥镜检查程序. They partner with primary care physicians and gastroenterologists to offer surgical care when other treatments fail or will not be aggressive enough for the patient.
If you need a colonoscopy or specialty care, please consult with your primary care physician about which type of doctor is right for you.
