I think everything about the office was okay except that they don't take credit cards. This was quite annoying because I didn't bring enough cash with me to pay for an H-Pilori test (which I didn't realize ahead of time would require any upfront payment). This led to me wasting a lot of time trying to convince the reception staff that I will actually pay them and that they really shouldn't make me come back with cash later. Most doctors either except credit cards or bill patients the residual of what isn't covered by insurance.

Dr. Nazareth was very clear explaining everything. She asked me more than once if I understood everything and was very kind when discussing my condition. She advised on switching some medication that my primary doctor had prescribed to something that would suit me better.

Dr. Haroutiounian was very pleasant and thorough in his questions about my symptoms and family health history. He did not dismiss my concerns as some other doctors I have seen in the past have because of my relatively young age. He was also knowledgeable about his schedule and was very helpful in his explanations.

Colonoscopy

A colonoscopy is a preventive screening procedure in which a doctor assesses the inner lining of your rectum and colon. The doctor uses an instrument called the colonoscope, which is a thin tube that allows the physician to visualize the lining of your colon. Your doctor may recommend getting a colonoscopy for a variety of reasons: Colonoscopies are generally performed to detect signs of inflamed tissues, polyps, ulcers and cancer. This procedure helps investigate symptoms you may have been experiencing such as rectal bleeding, unusual changes in your bowel routine, or if you have a family history of polyps or colon cancer. 

The procedure

At the doctor’s office or outpatient medical center, you will have to change into a medical gown and the medical professionals may give you medication to help you relax and ease any discomfort. Then you will be asked to lie down on your side or back. Next, the doctor will insert the flexible tube (colonoscope) through your anus into your colon. Small amounts of air are inserted through the tube to inflate the colon for better visibility. The doctor may extract tissue samples or polyps if found.

Frequently asked questions

Why should I get a colonoscopy?

  • Colon cancer is more common than you might think and a colonoscopy is used as a colon cancer screening test.
  • A colonoscopy is recommended if you are over the age of 45.
  • If you have a family history of colon cancer, cancer or colon polyps, your doctor will suggest getting the screening done.
  • Colonoscopies can help detect other bowel-related diseases, as well.

How often should I get a colonoscopy?

The Centers for Disease Control recommends that you get a colonoscopy every 10 years (for people who do not have an increased risk of colorectal cancer).

  • The doctor’s office will provide you with bowel-prep instructions. For the procedure to be carried out accurately, it is essential to ensure that there is no stool in your intestines at the time of the colonoscopy.
  • Your medical history may be discussed.
  • Your endoscopist will take you through a consent form and the potential complications.
  • You will be given sedatives to help you relax.
