Why are Hispanics Less Likely to Screen for Colon Cancer?
Colon cancer screening rates are significantly lower among Hispanic Americans over 50, and Hispanic Americans are more likely to be diagnosed with colon cancer in advanced stages.
Why Choose Us?
Our gastroenterologists and staff at Mid-Atlantic Endoscopy Center are dedicated to providing quality, affordable care to the community in our quest to lower colon cancer rates and treat an array of digestive diseases, including Crohn’s Disease, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Our board-certified GI doctors specialize in a myriad of GI procedures, including colonoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy and upper endoscopy.
The physicians at Mid-Atlantic Endoscopy Center not only meet but exceed U.S. benchmarks for quality in colonoscopy. Our adenoma detection rate (ADR), the rate at which our GI doctors identify adenomatous colon polyps, surpasses the national benchmark of 25 percent. See Our Scores.
Additionally, our patients value the compassionate care they receive from our GI doctors and say they are likely to recommend our center for GI procedures.

I couldn’t have asked for better people for a medical facility…I came in feeling horrible after the prep and Tia was amazing!!! She had me feeling so much better very quickly… she also listened when I said I pass out from needles (something that many don’t do) and took care of me perfectly (never even came close to passing out! Terri, Trish and Dr. Connor and everyone else that was with me (and I’ve forgotten a few names) couldn’t have been sweeter… explained everything and kept me totally at ease! Best group of people!!!

Dr.Ali is the the best doctor! I will recommend him to anyone who needs the type of surgical options he offers. He explains everything in great detail and has a very caring and kind bedside manner. I have seen him 3 times and each time he has been consistently the same which I love and this is over the span of a few years between visits. The staff from the time you call for your appointment , pick you your prep kit, the front desk office person who checks you in, the nurse who checked me in for my procedure and the nurse who checked me out with pre op care are all awesome as well ! Can’t say enough good things! Kudos to the entire staff ! I’m very thankful and grateful to each of you that made my procedure such a success !
