- Providing screening tests and procedures to detect cancer, polyps, lesions and other conditions that may develop into cancer.
- Offering care at several convenient locations in Maryland and Washington, D.C.
- Working closely with your referring physician to communicate findings and coordinate care.

For Referring Physicians
To expedite patient care, we offer direct access endoscopy for referring physicians, allowing you to schedule standard diagnostic endoscopic procedures for colorectal cancer without consultations. Within three weeks after your patient’s appointment, you will receive a written report of all procedures and biopsies conducted and further surveillance recommendations.
The clinic welcomes new patients and can schedule immediate appointments.
