No need to be cheeky…We’ve got your back!
“Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related deaths in North Dakota. Many colon cancers are preventable, yet around one third of eligible adults in our state are not up to date with recommended screenings, and that rate nearly doubles for those living in rural areas. Getting your colonoscopy is the best protection against colon cancer. Many cancers can be prevented, and survival is much higher if cancer is caught early. Dakota Medical and Surgical Center is committed to providing access to screening services in our region. Our team is dedicated to making the process as comfortable as possible. Referrals are always accepted but never required. Visit dakotamedical.com or call our office at 701-852-6144 for more information.” Dr. Gillian Lavik
