If you are 45 years old, you should schedule an appointment today as the best prevention for colon cancer is routine screening. If you have a family history of colon or rectal cancer, or have a family history of precancerous polyps, your first screening colonoscopy should be at age 40, or 10 years before when your family member was first diagnosed with colon or rectal cancer. If you are experiencing symptoms like rectal bleeding, pencil-like stools, or a change in bowel habits, please contact us today to schedule an appointment as these are possible symptoms of colon and rectal cancer.  Book your appointment now
