Appointments

Our mission is to deliver the best care possible by offering a patient centered approach to those with digestive conditions and liver diseases. We accomplish this by evaluating new patients, performing consultations and follow-ups, drawing and assessing labs, administering injections, monitoring medication therapies, and performing screening, diagnostic, and/or treatment procedures.
Please have your personal calendar on-hand when you call to schedule an appointment. This helps to avoid scheduling conflicts, cancellations and appointment delays.
If you have any questions about the new patient forms, your appointment or what information is needed, call our office at (336) 448-2427. If you need to reschedule, please notify us at least 24 hours prior to your appointment.
