  • Or haven’t received a date yet,
    Please give us a call at 503-874-0574. We’re here to help.

📝 Preparation Instructions

You were provided detailed prep instructions either as a printed handout or via email. These instructions are tailored to the specific preparation type your provider recommended.

Please read them carefully — proper preparation is essential to ensure a safe and effective colonoscopy.
