Office Visits
Digestive Health and Nutrition Inc was founded in response to increasing demand from parents for an alternative to the status quo. We share your frustration with long wait times and visits with multiple different providers who may not know your child well. At Digestive Health and Nutrition Inc, we offer a different solution. Our unique practice style focuses on continuity. We’d like you to see your child’s gastroenterologist as often as possible. Because each of our offices is small, we can truly get to know your child well. Our modest annual administrative fee allows us to remain a small practice with a small patient load, and to provide you with personal pediatric care and same-week access. This administrative fee is for non-medical services, and is not eligible for reimbursement from medical insurance or health savings plans. You will continue to use your health insurance to pay for medical services in the same way that you would in a traditional pediatric gastroenterology practice.
Please highlight: this administrative fee is for non-medical services, and is not eligible for reimbursement from medical insurance or health saving plans.
What to Expect Before Your Office Visit

You will receive reminders from our office for your upcoming appointment, by phone, email or text. These reminders are sent in a timely manner and our patients have found them to be very helpful. Please contact our office immediately, if you can not make it to your scheduled appointment. No shows and cancellations with less than 48 hours notice may be billed a fee.
If this is your first visit to our office, please arrive 30 minutes prior to your scheduled time. If this is a follow-up visit, please arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled time.
If there are any tests, labs, x-rays, growth charts or outside medical records pertinent to your child’s care, please request they be sent to our office in advance of your office visit. This will help the doctor in assessing your child and will prevent delay in treatment plans.
Referrals are the responsibility of the patient . If your insurance requires a referral please make sure we have this prior to your appointment. Check with your insurance company or primary care providier if needed and have this sent to our office in advance. If we do not have a referral on file and insurance requires it, this may lead to you paying out-of-pocket for the entire visit.
