If you find that you are unable to attend your scheduled gastroenterologist consultation, it’s important to let us know as soon as possible. We request a minimum of 24 hours' notice so we can reschedule your appointment and offer your time slot to another patient. If you fail to notify us within this time frame, a cancellation fee may apply. Please don’t hesitate to call us or use our online system to reschedule or cancel your appointment.

The need for fasting depends on the specific tests or procedures that may be required during your gastroenterologist consultation. Some tests, such as blood work or certain types of imaging, may require you to fast beforehand. If fasting is required, we will inform you when you book your appointment or in the reminder communication. If you’re unsure whether you need to fast, feel free to call our office and we can provide detailed instructions based on your appointment and any pre-tests needed.

The length of your gastroenterologist consultation will vary depending on the complexity of your symptoms, medical history, and any procedures that might be involved. Typically, consultations last between 30 to 45 minutes, during which Dr. Suhirdan will thoroughly assess your condition and discuss potential diagnoses or treatment plans. If any tests, follow-ups, or procedures are needed during your visit, the appointment may take a bit longer. We aim to ensure that every patient receives the attention they need, so feel free to ask about the expected duration when booking.

Yes, you are welcome to bring a family member, friend, or caregiver with you for support during your consultation. We understand that medical appointments can sometimes be overwhelming, and having someone with you can be very helpful in remembering important information and providing emotional support. If you're attending a procedure or a more complex consultation, it may be useful for your companion to be present to help you with any post-appointment instructions. Just ensure that the person you bring is aware of any privacy considerations.

After your consultation with Dr. Suhirdan, he will discuss any findings, diagnoses, and treatment options with you in detail. If additional procedures or tests are needed, he will guide you through the next steps. You may be scheduled for follow-up appointments, diagnostic tests, or referred to another specialist if necessary. Our office will also provide assistance in booking any future procedures or tests. You will receive clear instructions for any ongoing care and, if applicable, a referral for further treatments. If you have any questions or concerns about your diagnosis or next steps, feel free to reach out to our team, who will be happy to assist you.
