How to Prepare for Your First Visit?

To make your appointment as productive as possible, please consider the following:

Bring Necessary Documentation: Remember to bring your ID, insurance information, and any medical records or referrals from your primary physician. It's also helpful to list any current medications you are taking.
Know Your Medical History: It's beneficial if you provide a concise health history, including any symptoms you've been experiencing. The more information we have, the better we can help.
Arrival Time: Arriving 15 minutes early allows time for paperwork and ensures that all necessary administrative details are sorted before you see the doctor.

What to Expect During Your Visit?

Check-In Process: Upon arrival, our front desk staff will guide you through the check-in process, including completing or updating your health information.

Initial Assessment: A clinical team member will then gather your vital signs, health history, and any other relevant information before your consultation.
Consultation: You'll meet with your gastroenterologist who will discuss your symptoms, conduct any necessary examinations, and recommend next steps.

Our goal is to create a personalized treatment plan to get you back on track.
