Chest X-ray initially, and then every 5 years if normal, but annually if smoker

Colonoscopy over age 50 or at risk — this test can be scheduled through the Executive Health Program and billed directly to the executive’s private insurance (please check with your health insurance providers for pre-authorization requirements). Since a colonoscopy requires mild sedation and, therefore, a ride to and from the test, it is not scheduled on the same day as the executive health exam.
Dr. Gleeson will make referrals to Medical College specialists as needed after the exam. If you have a known need in advance, these can be arranged on the day of your visit.
