Daily aspirin use may reduce the risk of colorectal cancer, particularly for people who make unhealthy lifestyle choices.

I had my very first colonoscopy screening today following a few at home screening kits over the past 10 years. Dr. Sreenivasan and her team were phenomenal! They were friendly, professional, and comforting throughout the entire process. I highly recommend visiting this practice when you’re in need of any GI services whatsoever. I will be happily returning for my next visit.

Great experience! Dr Salomons is great. The secretary, pre op nurse, Anesthesiologist, CRNA, surgical tech and post op nurse were all so nice. Wish I could remember their names (thank you propofol). Definitely recommend!
