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.

The whole experience went smoothly. I hate the prep, but once it’s over it’s fine. The facility and the staff were outstanding. We do love Dr. Adler. Wish the prep was easier, but my results were great.

Dr. Alan Shapiro and his team are the nicest and most professional medical group. I can not recommend Dr. Shapiro enough. He takes his time with you, answers every question and has a great memory so you are not always repeating yourself. Even though our last names are the same, I am not related. Highly recommend!

This is an amazing practice. I was treated with great care and courtesy by everyone on the staff from the moment I arrived until the moment I left.

Ask for Early Colon Cancer Screening Based on Your Family History
If colon cancer runs in your family, it could affect your colon cancer screening age – the age when you should begin getting screened for the disease.
My procedure was super easy and comfortable. No pain, no wait, no rush, no stress. I can say, without exaggeration, that the staff who assisted-with/performed my procedure are the friendliest medical professionals I’ve ever received care from. The nurses, CRNA, and attending made me feel I was in the best hands (competent, respectful, great bedside manner). I highly recommend this place!
