A colonoscopy screening exam is almost always done outpatient. The procedure typically takes less than 45 minutes.
Upper endoscopy lets your doctor examine the lining of the upper part of your gastrointestinal tract, which includes the esophagus, stomach and duodenum (the first portion of the small intestine).
Colonoscopy lets your doctor examine the lining of your large intestine (colon) for abnormalities by inserting a thin flexible tube, as thick as your finger, into your anus and slowly advancing it into the rectum and colon
Our direct access colonoscopy program allows you to schedule a colonoscopy without a prior consultation with the Endoscopist.
