Detect it Early & Treat it Early!

It is recommended that individuals receive regular colonoscopy screenings starting at the age of 45, or earlier depending on the individual’s risk factors. Colonoscopies are a form of preventative care that helps detect or prevent serious disease and medical problems before they become major issues or concerns.
A Colonoscopy may detect:
- Polyps or cancerous tissues
- Abnormalities
- Diverticulitis

- Irritable Bowel Diseases (Crohn’s Disease, Ulcerative Colitis)
- Other Digestive Diseases and Conditions
