Colonoscopy
At TidalHealth, colonoscopy screening is recommended for people 45 and older. This test is primarily used to screen for colorectal cancer, which can be serious but is highly treatable when caught early. Timely screening is essential for your health.
We know preparing for a colonoscopy can feel overwhelming. Our team provides compassionate care and uses the latest technology to guide you through every step, from preparation to recovery. If you need help understanding your instructions or have concerns about your procedure, we are here to support you.
For those who may have difficulty paying for screenings, the Screening for Life program may be able to assist. Our staff can help you explore options and find the best path forward.
Your comfort, safety, and peace of mind are our top priorities before, during, and after your colonoscopy.
A screening colonoscopy is an important step in preventing and detecting colorectal cancer early. Find out if you can skip the office visit before your procedure.
Why do I get so many phone calls after scheduling my colonoscopy?
After scheduling, a nurse will call to review your medications, allergies, and health history to ensure the safest plan and streamline check-in. You may also hear from financial services to confirm insurance, discuss referrals, and clarify any co-pays.
How do I prepare for my colonoscopy?
Follow the preparation instructions carefully. If you have questions or concerns, contact our team. We want you to feel confident and comfortable as you prepare.
What if I have questions or need help before my procedure?
Our team is always available to answer questions or address concerns at any point before your colonoscopy. Please reach out for support.
