Why are Hispanics Less Likely to Screen for Colon Cancer?

I was very nervous about my procedure, but the staff was so thoughtful and understanding, I quickly became more at ease. I could hear staff members talking to other patients in the same kind and respectful manner and knew that these people really do care. I would totally recommend GDDI to anyone.
