Why are Hispanics Less Likely to Screen for Colon Cancer?

Having a colonoscopy is not the easiest thing you want to have done! But necessary to prevent cancer. I have intestinal issues and Dee at Ocean Endosurgery is so good at her job I came out without a black and blue and the nurses are great with patience. Dr Lokchander came highly recommended and would not use any other doctor. Thank you!
