You are scheduled for a colonoscopy, a procedure in which a doctor examines the lining of your large intestine by looking through a flexible tube called a colonoscope. If growths or other abnormalities are found during the procedure, the doctor may remove the abnormal tissue for closer examination or biopsy.
YOUR BOWEL PREP IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT – It is very important to have a “CLEAN“ colon so that your doctor may visualize any abnormalities (Polyps)! Click on the link below for each prep.
Please note: Bowel preps may be specific to the physician performing your procedure. In some cases, a two-day prep may be recommended. To ensure you are following the correct preparation, please clarify which prep is required for your scheduled procedure by contacting our office at 540-345-4900.
