What is the average wait time to get a colonoscopy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: On your doctor. Gastroenterologists are usually booked for several weeks to months. Colorectal surgeons can often get you in sooner. Call around after getting names from your primary care doctor or friends who have had one.
