Colorectal screenings help detect signs of colorectal cancer before symptoms develop. Screening methods, such as colonoscopies, enable doctors to:
 

• Identify and remove polyps before they turn cancerous.
• Detect cancer early, making treatment more effective.

If you are due for a colonoscopy, you can schedule your appointment with one of our board certified gastroenterologists. Simply follow the steps below to reserve your time.
 

Screening Guidelines

• Must be 45 or older, or have a family history that would indicate earlier screenings
  • Note:  If you are age 45-49, confirm your insurance coverage for a screening colonoscopy.  
• If polyps were found in a prior colonoscopy, please contact your physician to determine when you are due to have another colonoscopy
• If you are experiencing any unusual symptoms such as rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, or change in bowel habits at any age, please contact our office at 812-426-9545 prior to scheduling an appointment
• You must have a primary care physician for reporting or follow-up care. If you need a Primary Care physician, visit our Find a Doctor page
