Home/Membership & Fees
Transparent by design

A smaller practice, by design.

Dr. Yasmeh limits the number of patients she accepts so appointments can be longer, follow-up more consistent, and communication direct. Here is exactly what that means — and how the details are handled.

What membership includes

  • Longer, unhurried appointments — scheduled with enough time to cover your history, questions, and plan without rushing.
  • Direct communication with Dr. Yasmeh — your questions between visits reach your physician, not a phone tree.
  • Timely scheduling — new concerns, procedures, and follow-ups are seen promptly because the panel is intentionally limited.
  • Continuity from start to finish — one physician oversees your consultations, testing, procedures, and follow-up.
  • Coordinated explanation of results — findings are walked through clearly, with a written or clearly explained next step.
  • In-office and telehealth visits — telehealth is available for patients located in California when clinically appropriate.

About fees

Our commitment

Membership details — including cost — are reviewed with every prospective patient before an appointment is scheduled. There is no obligation to enroll, and no fee is charged until you have complete information and choose to move forward.

What is billed separately

Membership covers the relationship and access described above. Medical testing and treatment are separate, and each is explained transparently before it is scheduled:

  • Procedures (colonoscopy, upper endoscopy, capsule endoscopy) — billed through your insurance or as clearly quoted self-pay, along with any facility and anesthesia fees.
  • Labs, imaging, and pathology — billed by the performing laboratory or facility, typically through your insurance.
  • Medications and outside specialists — handled through your pharmacy and insurance as usual, with coordination from our office.

You will never be surprised by how something is billed — if it isn't clear, ask, and we will put it in writing.

Insurance, in plain language

The practice is designed to work for patients with or without insurance. Patients without insurance are welcome. If you have a PPO plan, you can typically be seen without a referral; some HMO plans require a referral from your primary care physician for specialist services or procedures. The office will help you understand what your specific plan requires before anything is scheduled.

Who this practice is for

  • Adults who want a gastroenterologist who knows them — not a different face at every visit.
  • Patients with persistent or complex digestive symptoms who are tired of fragmented care.
  • Anyone due for preventive screening who wants it done thoroughly and explained clearly.
  • Patients seeking a second opinion with genuine time to review their history.

This practice is not a substitute for emergency or hospital-based care. Emergencies should always go to 911 or the nearest emergency room, and conditions requiring hospital management are referred to the appropriate setting with coordination from our office.
