I was dreading this procedure, but the prep and the procedure itself were so much easier than I expected! Everyone was so nice! I fell asleep so fast and then it was done! Thank you Dr. Kefalas!

Be Aware of Colon Cancer Symptoms and Take Action
Colon cancer in adults younger than 50 continues to rise, but numbers may decline if young people don’t delay in seeing a doctor if they experience the symptoms of colon cancer.
I had delayed having a colonoscopy for far too long and finally got it done at the Digestive Health Center yesterday. I didn't get sick/nauseated (before or after, which is common for me) and was surprised how "easy" the whole process was. There was a lot of 2 way communication with the staff prior (I was hesitant and had lots of questions) and once there - EVERYONE was very "gentle" with me. They were proficient, professional and at the same time very kind, considerate, and helpful. Looking back I'm relieved to have it done and have a good report. If you've never been there - you'll love going to the DHC.
