I live in Hickory and was going to gastroenterologist associates of Hickory. Horrible experience to say the least. I would show up at appointment and then they would send me a no-show and try to charge me for it. Then I was referred to gastroenterology Associates of the Piedmont of Winston Salem. Probably the best Doctor visit that I’ve had in my life. The staff was very professional they were very efficient . Dr. Brian Smith was very professional and very personable. Took the time to listen and talk about my condition very thorough. I was in and out of his office within an hour. Definitely deserves more than a five star rating.

importance of colonoscopy

When should I start Screening?

Colonoscopy is the only test recommended at 10-year intervals if no polyps are found. Your gastroenterologist will recommend the interval of repeat colonoscopy based on findings during colonoscopy and surveillance guidelines.

The American Cancer Society and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommend average-risk people start screening at age of 45.

*Depending on family history, screening may be recommended at age of 40 or younger
