5 of the Best Colonoscopy Doctors in the Danbury Area
Colon cancer can be deadly, so if you're 50 or older, it's time to make that call to a reputable gastroenterologist to have your butt looked at.
A colonoscopy is a procedure performed by a gastroenterologist to check for polyps inside your large intestine. I know, it sounds gross, but they IV you some wonderful drugs, so you're out cold while they stick a four-foot long flexible tube with a camera and a tiny light at the end up your butt.
My morning show partner, Lou Milano, will tell you that a colonoscopy is the same procedure performed by aliens from another galaxy when they beam you up to explore your ass for fun and frolic.
But here's the real deal, while the aliens are just having a fun afternoon of butt play, a gastroenterologist is actually looking for some pesky polyps that may develop and cause colon cancer, which is why I've done the research and have come up with 5 of the best gastroenterologists in the Danbury area:
