    I'd a colonoscopy in The Hermitage clinic yesterday. As I was a bit sedated when I was leaving I forgot to ask how long I'd be waiting for the biopsy results.
    Has anyone had that procedure there recently? How long did it take to get the results?
    Thanks

    I don't know what the Hermitage's turnaround is, however the National Protocol is that the patient should have the results within 10 (working) days.

    Having said that, I was waiting 9 weeks for my results (in a different hospital) two years ago :mad:

    Hey,

    I have an apt to get colonscopy results on the 10th of May, procedure carried out on 22 March . I remember the doctor coming to me afterwards and talking inflammation afterwards and they took biopsies... If your colonscopy results are clear , would they just send you a letter or send results to doctor. I assume that if there was a serious issue they would bring you in quicker than 8 weeks later... My question I suppose is how long is wait and if you have an actual follow up apt is there an issue ? my blood tests showed up clear so not overly concerned.
