Careful Colonoscopy Screening

What is a colonoscopy?

A colonoscopy is a procedure which allows the doctor at Digestive Healthcare Specialists S.C. view the lining of your colon (large intestine.) This can help identify potential problems you may be suffering from, such as polyps or cancer.

Screening Colonoscopy
