Why are Hispanics Less Likely to Screen for Colon Cancer?
Colon cancer screening rates are significantly lower among Hispanic Americans over 50, and Hispanic Americans are more likely to be diagnosed with colon cancer in advanced stages.
Why Choose Us?

The staff (Valerie and Margie — hope I spelled their names correctly) and Dr. Vaid were very professional, very patient, very caring and very gentle. I was scared since this was my first colonoscopy. They made me feel comfortable and calm. I recommend going to the Endocentre at Quarterfield Road.
