Long Island Gastroenterology Specialists

Welcome to March...and Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. The physicians and staff at Long Island Gastroenterology Specialists want to remind you of the importance of colon cancer screening. Early detection saves lives! While regular screening should take place beginning at age 50, if you have any symptoms or something doesn't seem right, you should see your gatroenterologist sooner. Colon cancer does not age discriminate. Visit our website at www.ligsny.com to learn more or, better yet, give us a call at 516-785-6800 to schedule an appointment with one of our amazing physicians.

Get ready to celebrate #ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth! Colorectal Cancer is now the fourth most common cancer in the United States and the second leading cause of death from cancer. Despite these grim statistics, there is so much hope in the evolving fields of screening and treatment technologies. Take a look at our most recent article to explore the history and future of Colorectal Cancer Detection & Treatment.

If Joan Lunden can do it, so can you! If you are 50 or older, have a personal history of colon polyps, or a family history of colon cancer schedule your colonoscopy today. It could save all of your tomorrows. #coloncancerawareness #itsnotthatbad #seeyourgastroenterologist

It's National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month - have you had your colonoscopy? It could save your life.

We often ignore what our bodies tell us. That chronic stomach ache? Heartburn after breakfast this morning? These could all be symptoms of a much larger and more serious problem. Can you remember the last time you discussed your digestive health with a medical professional? Here we discuss how an open dialogue with your gastroenterologist can benefit your well being. http://www.ligsny.com/blog-importance-of-checkups.html
