Why Early Detection Protects Your Digestive Health

Understanding the importance of early detection, the American Cancer Society advises regular colonoscopies starting at age 45 for those with average risk. However, factors like family history or personal health may require earlier screenings.

A colonoscopy can detect and remove precancerous polyps, preventing them from developing into cancer. We also provide upper endoscopies, allowing us to examine your esophagus, stomach and small intestine for abnormalities. Our medical team can help assess your individual risk and guide you on the best screening schedule.

Surgical Treatments at Our GI Medical Center

In addition to screenings and diagnostic procedures, the GI Center specializes in surgical treatments for various digestive conditions. Our board-certified surgeons are highly trained in minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopic surgery, which allows for smaller incisions, less pain and quicker recovery times. Surgery can be daunting, so our team works closely with each patient to ensure they feel comfortable and informed throughout the process.
