As Gastroenterology group dedicated to preventing and detecting colorectal cancer, we believe screening should never be one-size-fits-all. Tailoring screening based on a patient’s age, risk factors, family history, and prior results isn’t just ideal — it’s essential.

Mass-mailing screening kits without Physician input risks undermining personalized care. Patients deserve informed conversations with providers who know their history and can guide them to the most appropriate option — whether that’s a stool-based test, colonoscopy, or something else.

Our goal is to keep patients and Physicians at the center of care — that’s how we save lives.

Have questions about what is most appropriate for you? We are here to help determine that. Call us to schedule today!

Bleeding, pain, fatigue, or changes in digestion aren’t “just stress” or “just diet.” Speak up and push for answers. Awareness can save lives — maybe even yours or someone you love.
