Frequently asked questions about colonoscopy in Rockville

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 a colonoscopy?

Prep usually starts one to two days ahead: a low-fiber diet, then clear liquids the day before (nothing red), plus a prescribed bowel preparation that's often split between the night before and the morning of. Let us know about any medications you take, especially blood thinners, and be sure to finish the entire prep, since an incompletely cleared colon can mean the exam has to be repeated.

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.
