Services
Colonoscopy lets your doctor examine the lining of your large intestine (colon) for abnormalities by inserting a thin flexible tube, as thick as your finger, into your anus and slowly advancing it into the rectum and colon. This instrument, called a colonoscope, has its own lens and light source and it allows your doctor to view images on a video monitor.
A clinical research trial is used in medicine to evaluate new drugs, medical devices, biologics, or other interventions on patients in strictly scientifically controlled settings, and are required for regulatory authority approval of new therapies.
Trials may be designed to assess the safety and efficacy of an experimental therapy, to assess whether the new intervention is better than standard therapy, or to compare the efficacy of two standard or marketed interventions.The trial objectives and design are usually documented in a clinical trial protocol.

Dr. Scott Levenson was my doctor for my colonoscopy on 11-30-17 at Digestive Care Center San Carlos, C.A.. During my colonoscopy Dr. Levenson grabbed my ankle, squeezed it hard, shook it and slammed it down on the table and yelled I know what I’m doing, I’ve done this before! Dr. Levenson did this because he was angry because I did not want the mind-altering sedation and only gave permission for a low-dose of pain sedation.

Report
I delayed several years getting a colonoscopy as it didn't seem like a necessary nor pleasant thought. After enough calls from my doctor urging me to take as good care of my insides as I try to do my outsides, I scheduled the procedure. I live in San Carlos and was told about DCMC. Net net is that the procedure was made quite pleasant given the professional, engaging and lovely nursing and front office staff..Sue, Jill and Kathy are truly fabulous nursing staff and I'm recommending DCMC to others who have the option to go here! :-)
