You may ask, where can I find a doctor to help me? Should I find a doctor locally or regionally? When should I get my colonoscopy? It is highly recommended that everyone get a colonoscopy starting at the age of 50. However, everyone has their own unique set of circumstances like age, genetic predisposition, and certain high risk factors, so we always suggest beginning the conversation with your general practitioner. This conversation is key because we can only warn you of the risk factors. It is up to you and your doctor to determine the next course of action. We also want to try to comfort you by saying you are not alone. We want to make you aware of all your choices and help make the best decisions based on available options, which is why we have listed a few local and regional specialists.
