About Gastroenterology Group of Rochester (GGR)
Committed to delivering compassionate care and quality service to all patients
Welcome to Gastroenterology Group of Rochester. We are pleased to have this opportunity to describe our practice and provide you with health information on the digestive system.
There are several sections to our web site. There is information about our providers, our practice, patient education, and links to other web sites where additional gastroenterology (GI) information can be found.
Patient Communication
We strive to provide prompt and accurate communication between patients and GGR. Whenever possible, we encourage patients to communicate with their physician by mail or phone.
Patient Responsibility
It is essential that you are involved in your care, starting with your reserved appointment time. Our office financial policy requires at least a 24-hour advance notice of an appointment cancellation, and we reserve the right to charge for missed appointments.
Our office financial policy also states that all payments are expected at the time of service, and if a co-pay for an office visit is not paid at the time of service, there will be an additional charge of $10.00.
Our office accepts payment in the form of cash, check, money order, mastercard or visa. There will be a $40.00 fee for all returned checks.
Primary Care Physician
Since our role is to provide specialized care in gastroenterology, you will still need your primary care physician (PCP) for other medical problems. After your evaluation here, you will be referred back to your primary care physician. If you need regular treatment by a gastroenterologist, we will continue to manage the gastroenterology problem with your physician's approval. We will provide regular detailed reports to insure the best care and communication.
Patient Education
A patient's understanding of his or her disease and the recommended treatment is crucial to effective medical therapy. The more a patient knows about their disorder, the better the result. The Patient Education section on this web site has all of this information available. Also in the Resources section, you can link to additional sources of information.
