Digestive concerns we evaluate in King of Prussia

• Colorectal cancer screening planning
• Follow-up for known digestive conditions

An upper endoscopy lets your gastroenterologist examine the lining of your esophagus, stomach, and upper small intestine to find the cause of symptoms that testing alone cannot explain. If your evaluation points to an endoscopy or colonoscopy, our team walks you through what to expect and schedules the procedure at one of our accredited centers. Most procedures take under an hour and are performed under sedation, so you will need someone to drive you home and should plan to skip work and driving for the rest of the day.

Preventive colonoscopy is generally recommended for average-risk adults beginning at age 45 and continuing through age 75, and earlier based on individual risk factors or family history.

Frequently asked questions

What should I expect during my first visit?

During your first visit, you'll meet with one of our board-certified gastroenterologists who will review your medical history, discuss your symptoms in detail, and perform a physical examination if needed. Based on this, we may recommend diagnostic tests or develop a personalized treatment plan to address your concerns and improve your digestive health.

How do I prepare for an endoscopy?

Before your endoscopy, you'll stop eating solid food for eight hours and stop drinking liquids for four hours so your stomach is empty for the exam. You may also need to pause blood thinners, since they raise the risk of bleeding if a biopsy or treatment is performed. Please tell our providers about every medication and supplement you take, and our team will give you specific instructions ahead of your appointment.

How quickly can I get an appointment?

We understand that digestive concerns can't wait. That's why we strive to schedule most new patient appointments as soon as the same week, and no later than one to two weeks, depending on availability. If your symptoms are urgent, please let us know when you call or book online, and we will do our best to accommodate you as quickly as possible.

Do you accept my insurance?

We accept most major insurance plans to make your care as accessible as possible. To confirm whether your specific insurance is accepted, please contact our office or provide your insurance details when scheduling your appointment. You can also visit the Insurance section on our website for a list of accepted plans. We're happy to assist you with any questions.
