Colonoscopy

Since many patients over age 50 need a colonoscopy for colon cancer screening, we have developed a direct scheduling option.   Our program allows patients who meet criteria to arrange a colonoscopy over the phone without coming to our office.

Our staff provide preparation instructions.  Patients are seen and examined by the physician prior to the colonoscopy on the day of the procedure.  If patients prefer to be seen prior to a colonoscopy, we are happy to see them in our office.

Endoscopy (EGD)

Gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) is an increasingly common condition.  Many patients with GERD will need an EGD.  We have developed a direct scheduling option which allows patients who meet our criteria to arrange an EGD over the phone without coming to our office.

Our staff provide instructions.  Patients are seen and examined by the physician prior to the procedure.  If patients prefer to be seen prior to an EGD, we are happy to see them in our office.
