Doctors recommend that men and women at age 50 see a gastroenterologist every ten years for a screening colonoscopy (or at age 45 for African Americans). Depending on your family history and other potential risk factors, you may require earlier or more frequent screening. Please consult with our gastroenterologists to determine the best schedule for your health.
