In recognition of Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, we’re proud to spotlight the impactful work of our own Dr. Tejal Mistry, a distinguished gastroenterologist at The Endoscopy Center and Gastrointestinal Associates. Dr. Mistry expertly performed a life-saving colonoscopy for WATE anchor Tearsa Smith this past year, highlighting the critical role of early detection and prevention in the battle against colorectal cancer.

This procedure, conducted amid a crucial awareness campaign, led to the discovery and removal of precancerous polyps. Dr. Mistry’s dedication to patient care and his expertise in the field not only potentially saved a life but also serves as a compelling reminder of the importance of regular screenings.

Join us in celebrating Dr. Mistry’s contributions to health and wellness in our community. To dive deeper into this inspiring story and learn more about the importance of colorectal cancer screening, click here.
