Why Choose Methodist for Colonoscopies?

Methodist’s dedicated and compassionate team is committed to preventive measures to keep patients healthy. Colonoscopy is a critical screening tool to evaluate patients for colon and rectal cancers and diseases. Anyone who has a family history of colon or rectal disease or is age 45 and older is eligible for screening. No referral is necessary.

Preparing for your Colonoscopy at Methodist

The best way to prevent colorectal cancer is with proper screening.

A colonoscopy involves your doctor using a flexible tube with an attached camera to see the inside of your colon, also known as the large intestine. It’s diagnostic and therapeutic because it can identify polyps – abnormal tissue growths in the colon – and remove them before they become cancer.

Many patients believe the process of completing a colonoscopy is too demanding or dangerous. Although the bowel preparation is inconvenient, it’s well worth it because a colonoscopy allows our team to appropriately identify a patient's risk for a very common type of cancer and inform them on when they need another exam. A colonoscopy is extremely safe and effective.
