What exactly is a Colonoscopy? It is a simple procedure that allows your physician to look inside the colon for polyps, cancers, inflammation, causes for abdominal pain, and bleeding. Colonoscopies performed at our Elms Endoscopy Center will be done with the assistance of an anesthesiologist to ensure you are comfortable and asleep during the procedure.

Call 843-797-6800 Ext. 129 to speak with a specially trained colon cancer screening nurse and schedule your colonoscopy. Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States of America. The American Cancer Society recommends colon cancer screening begin at age 50 (age 40 if there is a family history of colon cancer or polyps). We know you are busy and your time is valuable.

That is why we have developed Direct Access Colonoscopy. It is an easy way for you and your loved ones to schedule a screening colonoscopy without the inconvenience of an office visit. If you are in good health simply call our dedicated colon cancer screening nurses to be scheduled. Please take advantage of this valuable program designed to save you time and, possibly, your life.
