For over forty years, AAGA gastroenterologists have been leaders specializing in diagnosing, treating, and preventing all symptoms and diseases associated with the digestive tract: esophagus, stomach, small bowel, colon, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder. AAGA physicians have extensive experience using the latest endoscopic equipment and minimally invasive techniques to help patients with all digestive conditions. Their dedicated team comprises nine board-certified, fellowship-trained gastroenterologists and seven advanced practice providers, with a special focus on colon cancer prevention. Current guidelines recommend screening starting at age 45 for those with no high-risk factors such as a family history of precancerous polyps or colon cancer.
Wise Words: “Early detection saves lives. Screening prevents disease. Awareness empowers action. Know your history. Protect your future. Love yourself—get screened.” –Dr. Melanie Jackson, MD, FACG
