How to Make an Appointment
Our Services
We use a patient - centered approach to treat patients with functional GI and motility disorders, such as chronic constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, fecal incontinence, chronic rectal pain, functional dyspepsia, functional nausea, and gastroparesis.
This includes outpatient consultations and ongoing care delivered by a multi-disciplinary team of gastroenterologists, a physician assistant, a clinical psychologist, and a registered nurse. In addition, we provide motility testing and pelvic floor biofeedback therapy.
How to Refer a Patient
ALL NEW PATIENTS MUST BE REFERRED BY A PHYSICIAN
Please have your physician fax a completed request form to:
- Outpatient consultation (PDF) to fax line 919-966-3414
- Motility tests (MS WORD) to fax line 919-966-8764.
- If you need to reschedule your appointment, please call 919-966-2511.
Upon receipt, all referrals are reviewed and triaged by a faculty gastroenterologist. When appropriate, patients may be re-routed to our general gastroenterology clinic or another of our GI specialty clinics. Please note that we do not accept referrals directly from emergency departments nor for management of narcotic bowel syndrome. Also, due to high demand, we only rarely accept referrals from outside North Carolina.
