"Dr. Tarugu makes me feel very confident about having a colonoscopy. He listens to my concerns and gives me a sense of reassurance. His office staff is friendly, and Dr. Brown, the anesthesiologist, is very reassuring, too. The whole experience was very nice, and I would definitely refer my friends and family if the need presented itself."

A colonoscopy is performed with mild sedation for your comfort. The procedure generally takes less than 30 minutes. You will need to follow a bowel prep the day before. After the procedure, you'll rest a few minutes before going home.

For patients without health insurance, we offer endoscopy or colonoscopy procedures starting from $600.
