PAY BILL OUR SURVEY (360)-779-6527 Poulsbo, WA Are you 45 years of age or older and never had a screening colonoscopy? Are you 40 years of age or older with a family history of colon cancer? Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death. Early detection is the key to prevention. Ask us about scheduling your screening colonoscopy. What is a Colonoscopy? A colonoscopy is a procedure that is used to look for colon polyps, colon cancer, diverticula, or other abnormalities. The most common reason people receive a colonoscopy is for colon cancer screening. This is generally recommended for patients over the age of 45 every ten years, if they have no personal or family history of polyps or colon cancer. Sometimes patients will have other reasons they need a colonoscopy – like a history of colon polyps, a family history of colon cancer, blood in the stool, constipation, or a history of diverticulitis, among others. This procedure is done in a procedure room with minimal sedation—which reduces your cost if the procedure is not covered at 100% by your insurance carrier as a preventative benefit, or if the colonoscopy is for a medical condition. How to Get Started Contact our Surgery Center Scheduler at 360-626-5266 to request an appointment. We will work with you and your schedule to find a procedure date.
