Colon Cancer
Colon Cancer Screening is critical to your health. Colon cancer, especially in it's early stages, has no or few symptom AND when it is in the early stages is when it is most readily treatable. As the second deadliest cancer in the United States, the best way to protect yourself is to be screened. It is so important that you will see it mentioned in multiple places on our website. Click on any of the links, including this one, to find out why we think this screening is something you need now.
What Makes Blount Gastroenterology Associates Different?
You have a choice in care and we want to be your choice.
There are many reasons you might choose specific doctor or a group of physicians to provide care. Caring, capable doctors who appreciate your concerns; a convenient, non-hospital location; and easy scheduling; state of the art facilities; or a billing department that works to make the complex insurance process as painless as possible. Once you learn about us, we hope that you will see we offer all of these reasons. Let us show you that we are big enough to deliver the care you need and small enough to care about you as a person.
Your Doctors
You have a choice for who you see for care, even within our group. We are a group of four Board Certified Gastroenterologists. You may request a specific doctor or see whichever doctor has the next available appointment. If you've been to see one of us in the past, we will try to schedule you with that physician to provide continuity of care. If that doesn't work for you, don't worry... your care is our priority. You may also be seen by David Marsh, NP or Allison Falin, NP.
Our office is near the hospital but far from institutional. Our parking lot doesn't require you to take a shuttle and you sign in just inside the door. From scheduling to billing, we want your experience to be hassle-free.
If you need a procedure, in most cases you will not need to go to the hospital. We have a state-of-the-art endoscopy center on site. You will use the same parking lot and the same registration. You'll just leave from a more convenient side door where your ride can more easily pick you up.
Our Staff
Our staff cares about you. If you need help filling out the forms or listing your prescriptions, complete what you can and bring your prescriptions with you. Please come early to your appointment so we have the time to help you before you see your doctor.
If you have any concerns, please bring those to the attention of our office manager, either in person,
on the phone or via email.
What Symptoms Do You Treat?
"Where does it hurt?" That can be a loaded question! We know some days a faster question to get answered is, "Where doesn't it hurt?" On this page we try to sort out some of the common reasons you might need a gastroenterologist based on the general areas of the body that can give you trouble. The health concerns listed here are not exhaustive but simply those that occur most often.
