Patients might feel a little anxious when it’s their first time walking into an age-related screening. Not to make you feel comfortable, but most screenings are actually pretty rapid and painless. More like a simple blood draw or a non-invasive imaging test. When the rest, like colonoscopies or mammograms, may take a little longer but it’s for the betterment only. At Opal Medical Group, we also prioritize the importance of verbal communication and explain each step in plain language, answer your questions, and make sure you feel comfortable throughout the process.
