Programa de colonoscopia

Colon health is a vital part of your overall wellness, yet it’s often overlooked until symptoms arise. Our Colon Program is here to change that narrative. We offer preventive screenings like colonoscopies, as well as treatment for colorectal conditions including polyps, cancer, and inflammatory bowel disease. Early detection can save lives, and we’re committed to making the process as comfortable and respectful as possible. Our team includes gastroenterologists, surgeons, and support staff who work together to provide seamless, compassionate care. We also educate patients and families on lifestyle changes that support digestive health. Whether you’re coming in for a routine check or managing a chronic condition, we’re here to help you feel informed, empowered, and supported. Your digestive health matters—and we’re honored to care for it. Medical professionals recommend patients receive colon cancer screenings between the ages of 45 and 75.

Screening Options:

Colonoscopy: A colonoscopy is an exam of the colon using small, flexible cameras. This camera is also equipped with small instruments that can remove any polyps discovered.


FIT: This test requires a stool sample so that physicians can examine it for blood. Cancerous polyps will bleed in very small amounts that get trapped in stool. In the early stages, this blood may not be viewable with the human eye. Unlike colonoscopies, FIT testing needs to be done every year. It is possible for FIT testing to find blood that was not caused by colon cancer. This results in false-positive results and can be a source of great stress for patients. Additionally, if FIT testing does find signs of cancer, a colonoscopy will need to be performed anyway to confirm the diagnosis.


Cologuard: Like FIT, Cologuard requires a stool sample which is then processed to look for tiny amounts of blood but also looks for cells that slough off from cancers and polyps. This test needs to be performed every three years.
