Our direct access colonoscopy program allows you to schedule a colonoscopy without a prior consultation with the Endoscopist. This program is for patients new to Metro Atlanta Gastroenterology who are healthy adults who have no symptoms.
Dr. Jennifer Curtis, Dr. Max Shapiro, and Dr. Thali Sangha conduct our direct access colonoscopies.
If you are an existing patient who would like to participate in this program, please contact your physician’s medical assistant to see if your doctor will approve participation.
