Call insurance: Colonoscopies are done by gastroenterologists, surgeons, internal medicine physicians, and family practice physicians. Quality indicators are adenoma detection rate and withdrawal time. Your primary care doctor should be able to recommend a good doctor that does colonoscopies. You will then need to call your insurance company to make sure that doctor is covered by your company.
