HOW DOES YOUR PRACTICE IMPROVE THE LIVES OF YOUR PATIENTS?

We treat patients in the We Care program and it allows us the opportunity to provide our community with high quality care for their GI needs. These patients would otherwise have to utilize the ER for their only source of healthcare. We allow them to follow up in our office and obtain outpatient procedures. Our practice also participates in community outreach with local hospitals to spread awareness about colon cancer screening and prevention as well as other GI conditions.
