My PCP referred me to a colorectal surgeon for my colonoscopy. DH is saying he’s never heard of anyone besides a GI doc doing colonoscopies. Now I’m wondering if I should find someone else.
BTW, DH is also a physician but in an unrelated field. |
My regular GI doctor has done my several colonoscopies. I don’t think he’s a colorectal surgeon. |
Board certified GI doctor |
my GI doc performs my colonoscopies. But colorectal surgeon practice also performs colonoscopies. I prefer to have the GI do the colonoscopy and the surgeon do the surgery. |
Colorectal surgeons do not do nearly enough volume (because they only do them to fill in if they dont have surgeries) to be as adept as GI. I would prefer a board certified GI doctor.

This. Not a surgeon. |
by the same token, which doc do we see for a hysterectomy consult - an ob-gyn or a gyn-surgeon? |
Roto-Rooter.
Well, that's who we had to call after the drains clogged after the colonoscopy prep. |
Gyn-surgeon. Specifically I went to a surgical gyn oncologist. |
Do they give appointments if you don't have a diagnosis but are seeking answers via consult? Could you recommend your surgeon please. |
I did it myself after a bad meal at Chipotle. |
Wrong forum for trolling. |
