My name is Joseph Kim, MD, a board-certified gastroenterologist with over 10 years of experience. I am dedicated to help you feel the best that you can from a gastrointestinal standpoint. Whether you’re managing chronic issues, need a colonoscopy for cancer screening, or are navigating a new diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancer—such as esophageal, gastric, liver, pancreatic, colon, or biliary—I will do my best to help you find answers through logical reasoning, clear explanations, safe and cost-effective diagnostic tools, and open communication.
COLON CANCER SCREENING
Direct Access Colonoscopy program streamlines the process for patients who are healthy to get an optical colonoscopy. Patients choose this option to eliminate the need to take a day off from work to see me in the office prior to the colonoscopy. My staff will review your medical information to see if you meet the inclusion criteria to qualify for this direct colon cancer screening program. All of the information including instruction for the bowel preparation, date/time of the procedure and facility address is well organized and relayed to you via phone/email. Furthermore, I have made videos describing the colonoscopy procedure and instructions on how to take the bowel preparation. This efficient program minimizes wait times and simplifies access to this vital screening, making it easier for individuals to prioritize their digestive health.
