Your provider has recommended a colonoscopy and we are pleased that you have selected CRMC for your healthcare. A colonoscopy is an examination of your colon (large intestine) using a flexible tube with a tiny camera that is inserted into your rectum and allows the doctor to see the inside of your colon. Sometimes tissue samples or biopsies may be taken during the procedure. For your doctor to see the lining of your colon clearly, you will need to do a cleanse or bowel prep to empty your colon. Be sure to read through all of the directions before you begin, and call if you don’t understand something.  \nYour colonoscopy is scheduled for:  \nDate:   with Dr    \nLocation: 320 East Main Street Crosby, MN 56441  \nYou will receive a call with your arrival time the business day prior to your procedure.  \nSince we have reserved this time for you, please call 218-545-1048 as soon as possible if you need to cancel or reschedule.
