Gastroenterology Consultants
Appointments
When you or your physician’s office calls to schedule your appointment,
every effort will be made to see you as soon as possible. Please plan
to arrive at least 15 minutes before your appointment. Please have
your previous medical records and x-ray films forwarded to our office
prior to your appointment. It is extremely important that we have
this information in order to provide you with the best medical care.
Also, please bring your medications with you. If you are scheduled
for a medical procedure, you will receive instructions for preparing
for that procedure. Please do not hesitate to call our office if you
have any questions regarding the preparation.
Canceling
an Office Appointment
If you are unable to keep your appointment, please notify us 72 hours
prior to your scheduled appointment so that we may schedule another
patient for that time. After hours, you may cancel your appointment
by leaving a message with our answering service. At Gastroenterology
Consultants, we make every effort to remind you of your upcoming appointment.
Please make sure that we have your current daytime phone number on
file.
Canceling a Procedure
At Gastroenterology Consultants, we make every effort to accommodate
the needs of our patients. Scheduling a procedure requires a significant
effort on the part of our patients, their families and our staff.
It usually requires time off from work and a family member to provide
a ride home. Due to the ever-increasing demand for endoscopic services,
it is getting more and more difficult to find procedure time. If you
have a procedure scheduled and find that you need to reschedule or
cancel, please notify us at least 72 hours prior to your appointment
so that we can schedule another patient for that time.
Failure to notify us of a cancelled or rescheduled procedure within
72 hours may result in a fee of $150.00.
Our knowledgeable staff is available to answer your questions from
9:00 am to 4:00 pm Monday through Friday at any of our office locations.
Should your questions require more extensive expert medical advice,
a doctor or nurse will return your call or send instructions as soon
as possible. |
