Why are Hispanics Less Likely to Screen for Colon Cancer?
Colon cancer screening rates are significantly lower among Hispanic Americans over 50, and Hispanic Americans are more likely to be diagnosed with colon cancer in advanced stages.

Had hernia surgery yesterday (July 12, 2021). I rarely write reviews, but the Maryland Surgery Center is such an exceptional place I just had to. All the staff, nurses, surgery techs, doctors are so friendly and helpful. I came from out of state and this was my 1st surgery so I was nervous. They made me feel comfortable in everyway. Everyone there is so professional but also so kind and caring. Thanks MSC!

I really enjoyed my experience with the Maryland Surgery Center. I traveled from Savannah, Georgia for surgery and was able to travel back home the next morning. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They went above and beyond to make sure I was prepared. I give them 5 stars!

I’ve had a couple of procedures done here and I’ve been impressed by the staffing and efficiency. Everyone is very professional yet warm, and they get the job done in a timely manner. I recommend them with all 5 stars.

Ask for Early Colon Cancer Screening Based on Your Family History
If colon cancer runs in your family, it could affect your colon cancer screening age – the age when you should begin getting screened for the disease.
I had a procedure done here on April 30th, 2021. I was very nervous as I never had anesthesia before. From the moment I stepped in everyone was very patient, kind and very professional. I hope people working there know how grateful each of us is for their work and for who they are. Thank you very much💗
