It was founded by Dr. Colin T. Chircop D.O., Board Certified in Gastroenterology and Internal Medicine by the American Board of Internal Medicine. He has 13 years of medical experience, and 9 years in Gastroenterology. He has performed over 3000 colonoscopies, removed thousands of colon polyps, and diagnosed many with colon cancer. Colon polyps can be found and removed painlessly and non-surgically through the colonoscope.
Colon cancer is one of the few malignancies that can be prevented before it starts.
The National Polyp Study clearly shows that having a screening colonoscopy every 10 years can essentially prevent colon cancer or detect it at it s earliest stage. We are all at risk for developing colon cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, over the next 10 years approximately 1,300,000 people will be diagnosed with colon cancer and 550,000 will die. You can protect yourself and your family by having a screening colonoscopy. The best defense against getting colon cancer is to have a preventative colonoscopy.
