If my primary care physician refers me to a specialist for a colonoscopy, why would I need an initial consulation?
Colonoscopy is the best colon evaluation available to us at the present time. There are other types of evaluations that may be requested. Because colonscopy is an invasive procedure, it is important for us to discuss the process including the potential risks involved. It is important for us to ensure that every patient is fully informed prior to the actual procedure.
