Your first visit is only a consultation, so there is no preparation required. Any tests or procedures you need will be scheduled for another day.

Please remember to bring with you:

• your current, valid insurance card(s),
• a government-issued photo identification (driver’s license or passport, etc.)
• your current medications (an accurate list or the bottles),
• your Primary Care provider’s name, address and telephone number.

Being well-prepared for your appointment will ensure that the doctor has all of the needed information to provide the best possible care for you. It will also help alleviate any unnecessary anxiety you may be feeling prior to your first appointment. If you have had any recent lab work, imaging or procedures done that relate to your current condition, please make sure that we get a copy of them. We look forward to your first visit.

Please contact your insurance carrier to find out if we are a part of their network. Qualifications for insurance coverage may differ due to the uniqueness of each office visit or procedure. As a courtesy, we are happy to file your insurance claim. If you do not have insurance coverage or if we are not part of your insurance carrier’s network, you will be asked to pay for your visit at time of check in.

If you have questions concerning your insurance benefits for these procedures, feel free to print and follow this guide when you contact your insurance representative.

Guide for Patient Financial Obligation for Endoscopy Procedures 

If you have had a colonoscopy in the past, you probably dread the idea of drinking that awful gallon of prep.

It is still not fun, but it is much less to drink and significantly less unpleasant than it used to be.

The Colon prep that we most commonly prescribe is called Su-Prep.
