Welcome to Georgiagi.com the educational website of the Center for Digestive Diseases, LLC. The Center is a newly established, state of the art location for many patients from Savannah and the surrounding areas. It holds the distinction of being the first ambulatory endoscopy center, outside of a hospital, in Chatham County. The facility is attached to the office of Georgia Gastroenterology Group, PC at 501 Eisenhower Drive in Savannah.
This modern concept, which provides expert endoscopic care within a comfortable, and private atmosphere, has elicited much praise from our patients. In the immaculate unit, housing the latest in equipment yet away from the hustle and bustle of the hospital setting, our patients feel they they are the center of attention. Our caring and confident staff are also much appreciated. Family members who accompany patients are very pleased with the comfortable waiting area provided for them adjacent to the Center.
Endoscopic procedures(Upper Intestinal Endoscopy, Colonoscopy, Esophageal Dilatation, and Flexible Sigmoidoscopy) are performed with endoscopic equipment which is the latest advanced technology has to offer. The new model monitors assure a high level of safety and comfort for our patients. In addition to attention to detail to assure a comfortable atmosphere, patients are kept pain free with the use of intravenous sedation, individually measured for each patient. Medications that may be used by our physicians for this purpose are Versed, Fentanyl, Demerol, or Valium.
As is true of all ambulatory centers of this kind across the country, insurance contracts take time to negotiate and this process is progressing. At this present time Medicare, Medicaid, and Blue Cross and Blue Shield are accepted. As we grow, and time permits, more insurance contracts will be available.
To schedule a procedure in the new Center, patients must first be evaluated by one of the physicians in the Georgia Gastroenterology Group, PC. You can initiate this by obtaining a referral from your primary care physician. Appointment and location information is provided for your convenience.
