Frequently asked questions

When should I see a gastroenterologist?

You should consult a gastroenterologist if you’re experiencing ongoing symptoms like heartburn, abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, rectal bleeding, or unexplained weight loss. Early evaluation helps prevent complications and ensures effective treatment.

Do I need a referral to see a gastroenterologist?

Many insurance plans require a referral from your primary care provider. However, you can contact us directly and our staff will guide you based on your insurance and medical needs.

What is a colonoscopy and when should I have one?

A colonoscopy is a screening test used to detect colon cancer and other colon-related conditions. Most adults should begin screening at age 45, or earlier if you have a family history of colorectal cancer or other risk factors.

How do I prepare for my first visit?

Preparation depends on the type of evaluation or procedure scheduled. Our team will provide clear, personalized instructions to ensure you’re ready for your appointment.
