Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to see a GI doctor?
Not always. Many insurance plans will allow you to book a visit directly with us. However, we recommend verifying with your insurance provider prior to doing so because each plan has different coverage stipulations.
How long does a colonoscopy take?
The procedure itself is usually about 30 to 60 minutes, but between the time spent getting ready and resting afterwards, you should plan to be in the office for about two hours.
What symptoms mean I should see a GI doctor?
There are many symptoms that may indicate it’s a good idea to see a GI specialist. Some of them include ongoing abdominal pain, heartburn, bloating, blood in your stool, or sudden changes in bowel habits. Don’t wait if something feels off. It’s better to get checked and find answers early.
Is a colonoscopy painful?
A colonoscopy may sometimes be uncomfortable for some people. For this reason, we use sedation (and advise nearly all patients to be sedated) to keep them relaxed and sleepy. Many people tell us the prep is the hardest part and the procedure itself is easy.
