Expedited Appointments for Screening Colonoscopy

Screening colonoscopies save lives through early detection. Most people should get their first colonoscopy at age 45 — and sooner if you have a family history of colon cancer or other risk factors.

And scheduling a screening colonoscopy at AdventHealth is now easier than ever. You can request a colonoscopy by a physician if you’re a healthy patient between the ages of 45 and 75 without needing a pre-procedure visit.

Benefits:

Some of the benefits of a direct access colonoscopy include:

  • A more efficient process
  • A shorter wait for a potentially life-saving screening
  • Cost savings
  • Saves time

Your whole health is our top priority. Contact us today to find out if you qualify for a direct access colonoscopy.
