Martin’s doctor had detected blood in his stool during a recent test conducted after his annual physical. Although Martin had known he was due for a colonoscopy since he had turned 50 years old, he had put it off. The report from his doctor caused him to pick up the phone immediately and schedule with Dr. David Faulk at Valley West Hospital. It even prompted his wife Carol to schedule a long overdue colonoscopy as well.

Martin and his wife say that they had prepared themselves for a horrible day and now only have pleasant memories of the exams. Though they had set themselves up to fear the procedure, causing them to put it off for so long, they found the entire experience to be short and painless and their care at Valley West exemplary.

Martin and Carol are happy that their results came out negative for any conditions and now understand the importance of regular checks. The couple tells everyone they meet about their wonderful experience at Valley West and encourages others to call their doctors and schedule their own life-saving colonoscopies.
