It all went so quickly and uneventfully! I had no discomfort and I was going home in no time!! Thank you Suncoast Endoscopy!!
Staying well during the coronavirus pandemic is important, but are you sacrificing your colon health by delaying what could be a life-saving colonoscopy? You may think staying at home is a way you can do your part to prevent the spread of COVID-19, but having a colonoscopy is a basic form of preventive care that could save your life.
Colon cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death in the United States, but most cases are preventable with routine colonoscopies. According to AMSURG, a leading national healthcare group, more than 200,000 colonoscopies were missed in 2020.
According to an article in the New York Times, current events are turning up the heat when it comes to heartburn. More Americans are using prescription and over-the-counter heartburn medicine to manage stress and reflux, resulting in nationwide shortages of acid reducers.
Outstanding staff from the front desk to the nurses who made you feel comfortable and less fearful. Dr Patel is a compassionate caring doctor who talked to you before and after the procedure and made you feel at ease. You knew you were in safe hands. I highly recommend this Facility and staff as I had recently moved here from up North and was petrified as I have had many colonoscopies due to family history. Thank you Suncoast endoscopy for quality care!!!
