How we approach evaluation
We begin with a careful history and targeted testing. When needed, we perform or arrange procedures such as colonoscopy and upper endoscopy, and we use blood tests and imaging to evaluate liver and biliary conditions. Our focus is on identifying the cause, discussing the options, and coordinating care with your primary care doctor or specialists.
For specifics about liver related work we refer to our Hepatologist page. For patient education about screening, see our topic on Colon Cancer Screening.
Preparing to travel from Kaisertown for care
We do not publish full preparation instructions on this page. For procedure preparation details, including what to expect the day of a colonoscopy, see our detailed guidance on Colonoscopy Preparation. In general, plan for the drive time to Goshen, a period of observation after any sedated procedure, and someone to drive you home.
We work with primary care providers across Orange County to make referrals and ensure test results and follow up care are clear for patients who travel from surrounding towns.
When to see a specialist
See a gastroenterologist when symptoms are persistent, unexplained, or associated with alarm signs. Common alarm signs include significant unintentional weight loss, recurrent vomiting, evidence of gastrointestinal bleeding, new jaundice, or abnormal liver tests reported by your primary care doctor. These situations warrant timely evaluation and targeted testing.
We also accept patients for routine preventive care such as screening colonoscopy. If a primary care doctor has recommended specialist evaluation, we will coordinate next steps and explain the options clearly.
