What to expect at an appointment
We aim to make visits straightforward and informative. Typical steps include a focused medical history, directed testing when needed, and a clear plan that may include medication changes, imaging, stool tests, or scheduling a procedure.
- Initial evaluation. We review symptoms, medications, and prior records to identify likely causes.
- Diagnostics. We order tests such as blood work, stool studies, or imaging only when they will change care.
- Procedures when needed. If a colonoscopy or upper endoscopy is recommended we explain the reason, risks, and recovery expectations.
- Follow up and coordination. We summarize results, discuss treatment options, and coordinate with your primary care clinician when appropriate.
Pro tip: Procedures that require sedation mean you should arrange a responsible driver for the trip home. If transportation is a concern let us know so we can help coordinate logistics with your care team.
