Diagnostic and therapeutic EGD, Colonoscopy, GI Cancer screening and follow up, New-generation Capsule endoscopy services and ambulatory pH studies will be provided at the DEC. Patients needing complex therapeutics or extremely risky procedures will be managed at the hospital.

 

  • Procedures at the DEC are performed only by fully-trained, ABIM board certified Gastroenterologist(s). This is to ensure confident and thorough diagnosis, safe removal of difficult polyps and decreased risk and expense to the patient.
  • Procedures are scheduled so that patients/relatives do not have to miss work. The median time from entry to exit for endoscopic procedures is 40 minutes.
  • Patients will receive a detailed explanation of the endoscopy and histopathology findings including endoscopic and pathology photos at no cost. Similar information will be instantly transmitted to the referring doctor with appropriate recommendations.
  • In compliance with the new health IT trends, a secure digital file of their entire medical record will be provided to patient at the cost of media (USB key). We can also send it as a secure digital file to an e.mail address. This might help to avoid medical errors and unnecessary investigations.
  • Patients will receive a single bill that encompasses both the facility fee and the physician's technical component fee.
  • The biggest advantage to the patient is the provision of high quality consultative and procedural services under one roof for a significantly reduced price. This will save patients time and money spent in traveling to unfamiliar places for invasive procedures.
  • We accept all major insurances. We make special effort to accommodate uninsured or indigent people.
