If caught early, colorectal cancer can often be successfully treated. The Colorectal Cancer Screening Clinic at Johns Hopkins aims to help with colorectal cancer prevention and early diagnosis by:
- Providing screening tests and procedures to detect cancer, polyps, lesions and other conditions that may develop into cancer.
- Offering care at several convenient locations in Maryland and Washington, D.C.
- Working closely with your referring physician to communicate findings and coordinate care.

Screening Procedures We Offer
If you are looking for virtual colonoscopy, digital rectal exam or other non-endoscopic procedures, please work with your primary care provider to schedule them.
For Referring Physicians
To expedite patient care, we offer direct access endoscopy for referring physicians, allowing you to schedule standard diagnostic endoscopic procedures for colorectal cancer without consultations. Within three weeks after your patient’s appointment, you will receive a written report of all procedures and biopsies conducted and further surveillance recommendations.
The clinic welcomes new patients and can schedule immediate appointments.
Direct Access Endoscopy
Call 443-997-0286 for direct access endoscopy appointments for patients who need colonoscopy for colorectal cancer screening due to age or family history, and for those who are not at high risk and have no symptoms that require a consultation.
