REASONS TO SCREEN
Colon cancer screening is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your loved ones. The evidence is clear that screening for colon cancer saves lives. The American Cancer Society estimates that more than 50,000 Americans will die from colon cancer each year and ranks it as the #3 cancer killer in the United States among both men and women.
Getting Screened Just Got Easier
When it comes to cancer, prevention is always the goal. To improve patient outcomes and efficiency, see if you qualify for the direct access colonoscopy program. Approved patients will bypass a pre-procedure physician visit and can immediately schedule their screening colonoscopy. Complete the form below to see if you qualify.

A Direct and Faster Process
Screening colonoscopies play a critical role in protecting you against colorectal cancer (CRC). We offer a direct access colonoscopy program, allowing our patients to receive necessary care more easily. This program allows approved patients to skip their pre-procedure physician appointment and move directly to scheduling.
It is recommended that all Americans begin screenings at age 45. Patients with a personal or family history should begin screenings at age 40. Future screenings will be determined in collaboration with your physician.
Some populations, like African Americans, see disproportionate rates of CRC. These groups, as well as others at increased risk, may be advised by their physician to begin screenings earlier.
Did You Know
According to the American Cancer Society, colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, posing a five to seven percent lifetime risk.
