A different kind of GI practice

Medicine the way it should feel.

Digestive symptoms are complex, and many of my patients come to me after months — or even years — of searching for answers. I built my practice around the belief that exceptional care begins with listening.

Longer, unhurried appointments

I intentionally care for fewer patients, so every visit has room for your full story — not a 10-minute slot.

Direct access to your physician

Questions between visits go to me — not a phone tree. I personally oversee your care from consultation through follow-up.

Care I'd want for my own family

Evidence-based, individualized plans that look for the underlying cause — never one-size-fits-all.

“Every patient deserves to feel heard, informed, and confident in their care.”

Questions patients ask me

How is care billed? +
Simply and transparently. How your visit is billed — whether through your insurance or as a clearly quoted fee for the visit — is explained before anything is scheduled, so you can decide with complete information.
Do you accept insurance? +
The practice is designed to work for patients with or without insurance. How procedures, labs, and imaging are billed — through your insurance or transparently as self-pay — is explained clearly before anything is scheduled.
When should I get my first colonoscopy? +
For most adults at average risk, colorectal cancer screening should begin at age 45. If you have a family history of colon cancer or polyps, inflammatory bowel disease, or certain hereditary conditions, screening may need to start earlier. I review your personal and family history to recommend the schedule that's right for you.
Do I need a referral to see you? +
No — you can schedule directly in any case. As a concierge practice, I also see patients who don't have insurance. My office is happy to help you understand your options.
Which symptoms should never be ignored? +
Blood in your stool, black or tarry stools, difficulty swallowing, persistent abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, ongoing vomiting, iron deficiency anemia, or jaundice all deserve prompt evaluation — they should never be dismissed as stress, hemorrhoids, or aging without an appropriate workup.
