Colonoscopy. Just do it!

Let's face it.  No one wants to have a colonoscopy.  Some people even avoid going to see their doctor after they turn 50 because they dread being reminded about it.  However, people have the procedure because it's easy and they know it can save their lives.        

A colonoscopy can find growths, called polyps, and painlessly removes them.  If unchecked, these polyps can lead to colorectal cancer.  If you're over 50, you owe it to yourself to talk to your primary care physician about having a colonoscopy


Learn what Kevin Crossett, owner of GuitarSam had to say about his experience. 


Dr. Minkin (a gastroenterologist) talks about colorectal screening.
