Patient Instructions

We want your experience to be easy, efficient and safe, in regard to your preparation.

We understand most patients schedule a colonoscopy with some fear and apprehension. We have tried to find the best prep for all patients, that is best tolerated and affordable.

Over-the-counter laxatives mixed with Gatorade may be used or Crystal Light can be mixed with Golytely type flushes to make the solution easier to drink.
