order to understand how this report was produced and what it represents
we strongly suggest that you take the time to read the report
narrative.
As with many other procedures, colonoscopy is being increasingly done in doctor's offices or other facilities that are not required to report their activities to the state. If a doctor does many or all colonoscopy procedures in a facility that does not report to the state his or her volume will not be accurately reflected in this report. If your doctor, or a doctor that has been recommended to you, is either not listed in these reports or is listed with a low volume, you should ask about their experience and where they usually perform colonoscopy.
