No Referral Necessary!
Let SCOPES provide you with a direct screen colonoscopy option, that provides a hassle free approach to colon screening. This program allows you to bypass the doctor's office that normally precedes the colonoscopy and come directly to SCOPES for the procedure. This removes the most common barriers patients have when it comes to preventative colon cancer screening.
Early Screening Saves Lives
Colon cancer screening is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. The evidence states that screening for colon cancer saves lives. Colo-rectal cancer is highly preventable and has a high rate of cure if caught early.
Screenings are highly recommended after the age of 50. If a family history of colon cancer is present, it is recommended after the age of 40.
Our direct screening program offers a simple solution to your preventative care by eliminating an unnecessary office visit. We schedule you directly through SCOPES with one of our Board Certified Gastroenterologists.
To qualify, you will need to verify the following with our scheduler and pre-op nurse, confirm you are NOT experiencing any of the following:
- Rectal Bleeding
- Change in Bowel Habits
- Chronic Kidney Disease
- Renal Dysfunction
- Significant Weight Loss
