Colonoscopy with Dr. Batash. Prevention, personally.
The most effective way to prevent colorectal cancer, performed by Dr. Batash himself — from consultation to results.
A colonoscopy lets Dr. Batash examine the entire colon, and find and remove polyps before they turn into cancer. It is also how we investigate bleeding, bowel changes or abdominal pain.
Is it time to get checked?
Two reasons for a colonoscopy.
Screening
You feel fine and you are 45 or older, or you have a family history of colorectal cancer or polyps. Screening finds polyps before they turn into cancer — and removes them in the same exam.
Diagnostic
Something has changed. See a gastroenterologist if you have:
Blood in your stool, or black stools
A lasting change in bowel habits
Unexplained weight loss or ongoing abdominal pain
What to expect
Dr. Batash, at every step
No triage nurse, no physician assistant. You see Dr. Batash at every visit, from consultation to procedure to results.
01
Consultation
Dr. Batash reviews your history, symptoms and risk, and decides with you whether an endoscopy is the right next step.
02
Preparation
You receive clear instructions on eating, drinking and medications before your procedure, and our team is a phone call away with questions.
03
Procedure
Performed by Dr. Batash with sedation, in our accredited office-based center — not a busy hospital unit.
04
Results
Dr. Batash explains your results in plain language, with a clear plan for follow-up.
Once and done
Endoscopy and colonoscopy. One visit. One prep.
Most doctors schedule endoscopy and colonoscopy separately. When you need both, Dr. Batash performs them in a single visit, so you prepare once, not twice.
