For Referring Doctors

Statistics tell us that about 60% of your age-appropriate patients have not had their screening colonoscopy.

SIMPLY SCREENING wants to reduce this number by offering convenient elective outpatient services that deliver your patients comfort, courtesy and education.

Understanding that access and communication are important to you as a physician, I and the SIMPLY SCREENING staff commit to:

Supply open-access endoscopy
New patients may request intake appointments or open access, and established patients are welcome for both continued office care and endoscopy.

Report back to you promptly
We will swiftly send you transcriptions from the latest EMR, and call you to report all unexpected findings.

Offer you and your patients exceptional service
Your patients will be delighted by your selection of our organization, and impressed with our educational and service-oriented gastrointestinal care.
