Do you need to schedule your colonoscopy?
We know that a colonoscopy or other digestive procedure is not at the top of your to-do list. But it doesn’t make it any less important. Your health is our priority. We’ll help you get it done and get it done right.
Our staff would like you to be relaxed and comfortable during your procedure. We offer the most effective sedation available for your colonoscopy procedure. Intravenous conscious sedation may be used or Propofol which is a fast acting, intravenous hypnotic agent may be used for general anesthesia and procedural sedation. We strive to provide improved comfort, faster onset of sedation and faster patient recovery, resulting in better polyp detection.
