Tulsa Endoscopy Center
Tulsa Endoscopy Center is an outpatient, endoscopic facility specializing in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases and disorders. Our facility — the first freestanding center of its kind in Northeastern Oklahoma — was designed with patient privacy, safety and convenience in mind. Our procedures allow patients to recover in the comfort of their own home and pay about half the price a hospital would charge.

Myths
Myth #1: Colon cancer is a disease that affects only Caucasian males.
Truth: Colon cancer affects individuals regardless of race or sex. In 2007, the American Cancer Society estimates, 55,290 men and 57,050 women will be diagnosed with colon cancer. About equal numbers will die from the disease: 52,000 Americans altogether. In addition, every year, colon cancer takes the lives of nearly as many women as ovarian, cervical and uterine cancers combined.
