Adenoma detection rate, or ADR, “is considered to be the most important quality indicator for a gastroenterologist and it calculates the percentage of time that at least one adenoma is detected during a colonoscopy. In fact, for every 1% increase in ADR, colorectal cancer rates decrease by 3% and morbidity decreases by 5%.”

According to the GIQuIC medical specialty registry, Dr. Bravo is the gastroenterologist with the highest rate of detection of precancerous polyps (adenomas) in the Cypress/Houston area — meaning that he has prevented more patients from developing cancer due to pre-cancerous polyps than any other doctor in the Northwest Houston area.
