What Patients Can Expect

Physicians in the GI clinic usually require their overseas patients to be referred to them by another physician, so that other conditions may be ruled out.  Overseas patients should contact their own doctor to discuss their situation. All medical results pertinent to the patient's visit should be faxed or e-Mail prior to the GI office visit. Typical information requested includes:

• Medical records
• Procedure results

An information packet with directions to the outpatient office will be forwarded to patients prior to their initial appointment.
