Prep Instructions
No one looks forward to having a colonoscopy or an endoscopy. But if your doctor has recommended one of these procedures, it’s important to do everything you can to prepare.
Preparing for Your Procedure
Having a colonoscopy or an endoscopy done is not easy and can seem overwhelming. We understand this, which is why our goal at Island Gastroenterology Consultants PC is to make sure you are as comfortable during your procedure on the day or anytime beforehand by offering flexible scheduling options, so it doesn’t disrupt your work schedule! Our physicians also use new formulations that provide better pain management, meaning patients can recover quickly after the procedure.
All patients are required to provide rapid results prior to all procedures. Below are 2 options to fulfill the requirement:

You must take a photo of each negative rapid test with your photo id in the photo. Photo will have a time stamp.
