Looking for a "colonoscopy near me" in Turnersville or Voorhees, NJ? At Advocare Colon & Rectal Surgical Specialists, our experienced team provides comprehensive colonoscopy services in a comfortable, patient-focused environment.

Most adults will need a colonoscopy at some point in their lives. Current guidelines recommend beginning routine screening at age 45, but the right time to schedule your first colonoscopy may vary depending on your personal risk factors. These may include a family history of colon or related cancers, symptoms such as bleeding, abdominal pain, or changes in bowel habits, or a personal history of conditions like inflammatory bowel disease, previous polyps, or colorectal cancer.

Our board-certified specialists are highly trained in both general surgery and the advanced treatment of colon and rectal conditions. We offer a full range of surgical and non-surgical treatment options, all tailored to meet your individual needs.

We are proud to be the first practice in South Jersey to introduce an Open Access Colonoscopy program, designed to make routine colonoscopy screening easier for patients in overall good health. Through this streamlined program, patients watch a short informational video, complete a few forms, and return them by mail or fax. The scheduling team then reviews the information to determine whether an office visit is necessary or if the patient can proceed directly to the procedure. By reducing extra steps, saving time, and lowering costs, this convenient approach makes it simpler than ever to stay on top of your colon health.

A study in the British Journal of Cancer shows that regular exercise can lower the risk of colon polyps and colon cancer. Analyzing over 250,000 people, researchers found exercise reduced the risk of any polyps by 16% and advanced polyps by 30%. Benefits likely come from improved immunity, reduced bowel inflammation, and lower insulin levels. While factors like age and family history can’t be changed, lifestyle choices make a difference. The American Cancer Society recommends 30–60 minutes of moderate activity most days to help protect colon health. Learn more about exercise and colon cancer.
