FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Garden City, NY – October 3, 2025 – Colon & Surgical Specialists of New York (CRSSNY) announced that Saturday colonoscopy appointments are now available at their Garden City location, providing patients with enhanced scheduling flexibility for this critical preventive health service. The Saturday appointments address the growing need for convenient colonoscopy scheduling that accommodates patients’ work and family obligations.
The expanded weekend availability allows working professionals, caregivers, and others with weekday commitments to prioritize their colorectal health without disrupting their regular schedules. Patients can now schedule Saturday colonoscopy appointments by calling the practice directly or through their website, with procedures available by appointment throughout the day.
Colonoscopy remains the gold standard for colorectal cancer screening and prevention, with the American Cancer Society recommending regular screening beginning at age 45 for average-risk individuals. Despite its life-saving potential, many patients delay or postpone this important procedure due to scheduling conflicts with work or family responsibilities.
“We recognized that many of our patients were struggling to find time during traditional weekday hours for their colonoscopy appointments,” said Dr. Dean P. Pappas, MD, MBA, FACS, FASCRS, of Colon & Surgical Specialists of New York. “By offering Saturday appointments, we’re removing a significant barrier to preventive care and making it easier for patients to prioritize their colorectal health. Early detection through regular screening can prevent colorectal cancer or catch it in its most treatable stages.”
The Saturday service maintains the same high standards of care and safety protocols as weekday procedures, with board-certified anesthesiologists administering anesthesia and monitoring patients throughout the examination. The practice’s experienced medical team ensures that patients receive comprehensive, comfortable care regardless of the appointment day.
CRSSNY’s Garden City location features state-of-the-art equipment and follows strict safety and sterilization protocols. The practice specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of colorectal conditions, offering both medical and surgical expertise for a wide range of gastrointestinal health issues.
Patients interested in scheduling a Saturday colonoscopy appointment can contact the practice directly or visit their website to learn more about availability and preparation requirements. The practice accepts most major insurance plans and works with patients to ensure accessible, affordable care.
