Colonoscopy Reasons We Review Near Katy
You are due for routine screening
If you are due for colon cancer screening in Katy, Cinco Ranch, Fulshear, or west Houston, a colonoscopy can help find polyps before symptoms appear. Bring prior screening dates or test results if you have them.
You had polyps before

You have symptoms or abnormal testing
Rectal bleeding, iron-deficiency anemia, bowel changes, unexplained weight loss, or a positive stool test should be evaluated. Patients near Katy Freeway, Mason Road, and 77494 can schedule review at GastroDoxs.
