Preventive Gastroenterology Care: Colonoscopy Screenings
Colonoscopy is the number one tool available to help detect early signs of cancer. It is also the only screening that can prevent cancer. Colonoscopy screenings allow your doctor to locate and remove polyps — small growths inside the colon — that can become cancerous if left untreated.
Specialists at the Underwood Center also conduct colonoscopies to rule out or confirm other GI issues, such as Crohn’s disease, inflammatory bowel disease or colitis. Our doctors are experts at performing colonoscopies with skill and precision, carrying out thousands every year and staying up to date on the latest techniques and technology so that you can have peace of mind.
