Don't ignore symptoms

Sometimes people ignore GI symptoms because of embarrassment or they assume their issues are normal or no big deal. However, symptoms can be signs of something more serious. Make an appointment to see one of our doctors if you are experiencing the following:

  • Changes in bowel habits
  • Abdominal bloating or cramping
  • Frequent heartburn
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Unresolved diarrhea
  • Rectal bleeding
  • Trouble swallowing

Screening for colon cancer is effective for both early detection and for prevention

80

More than 80% of colorectal cancers arise from adenomatous polyps

2-3

Diagnosis of colorectal cancer through screening tends to occur 2–3 years before diagnosis with symptoms

60

Screening has the potential to reduce colorectal cancer deaths by 60%

Colonoscopies Save Lives

Recommended at age 45

If you’re 45 or older, it’s time for a screening colonoscopy. We know you don’t like to think about it, and the prep can be uncomfortable and inconvenient. But in the scheme of things, it is a minor inconvenience considering that colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men and women.

A colonoscopy screens for pre-cancer and cancer. Colonoscopies can show irritated or swollen tissues, ulcers, polyps and cancer. Early detection of colorectal cancer is easier to treat.

Every single person, from the person at the front desk to the nurse that escorted me to my ride, was friendly and helpful. They all seemed to know their job and enjoyed doing them. And of course, Dr. Bridgers is the best!

This was my very first colonoscopy and I was nervous, but everyone that I came in contact with was so kind. They all explained everything to me and really made me feel comfortable and at ease. Hopefully in 10 years they'll all still be here for my next one.

The staff was very kind and compassionate. They recognized I was nervous about the colonoscopy. Dr. Bridgers talked with me prior to test and then to me and husband after the test. He did not use confusing words. He took his time to explain what he found and his next plan. The nursing staff was just as professional. Please thank all of them.

Efficient processes, great pre-procedure communication, considerate use of my time on procedure day. Shout out to “Sarah” and “Angel” for their nursing care! Will use Dr. Batte and his team again for future GI needs.
