Knowledge is the best medicine. Our advice on Housecalls is based on short conversation and no physical examination-not the way medicine should be practiced. We encourage you to read more about our topics by going to the library or on the Internet, then make an appointment and really talk with your doctor.

SHEDDING LIGHT WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States.  Yet more than 50% of these deaths could have been prevented with regular colonoscopy screenings.  Today on House Calls, we talk with colon cancer survivor Ann Pierce Gardner and Dr. John Mattern, Medical Oncologist with Virginia Oncology Associates, about the dangers, realities, and prevention of colorectal cancer.
