Efforts to Improve the Appointment Scheduling Process

Winchester Gastroenterology is experiencing a higher-than-normal volume of appointment requests. We are committed to providing a great patient experience, and know that experience includes the ease of creating an appointment with your provider.

To improve the scheduling process, we’ve taken the following actions:

  1. We’ve hired additional staff in our scheduling department.
  2. We’re working with gGastro, our online patient portal, for patients to be able to schedule their own appointments through the portal. We expect this new feature to be released in 2023.

If your call has not been returned within 2 business days, please email us at contactus@winchestergi.com. We are asking patients to not leave a second voicemail, as this only further bogs down the system and creates more work for our team.

Thank you for your patience as we work diligently to schedule your appointment in a timely fashion. We look forward to seeing you in the office soon.

“Everyone is so friendly and makes you comfortable. Just had an endoscopy and it was over in a flash. Highly recommend!”

“My elderly mother has been a patient for several years. Her providers take such great care of her. They always returned my calls, even the ones for my questions. You have meant the world to us both!”

FAQ

How can I make an appointment to come to your office?

You can request an appointment on our site or by calling our office at (540) 667-1244.

How do I know if I need a referral for my office appointment?

Many insurance plans, especially HMO’s, require a referral or written authorization from your Primary Care Physician for each visit. Your PCP should be able to tell you if you need a referral but ultimately it is your responsibility to know if a referral or written authorization is required before each visit and to obtain one.

For further questions or concerns regarding your referral please call our office at (540) 667-1244 and ask for our Authorization Specialist.

Do I need to bring anything to my office appointment?

Yes, please bring your insurance card, co-payment owed, medical records that would pertain to your office appointment, and any current medication list or your medications. If you are a new patient to our facility please print out and bring the Patient Intake Forms along with you to your visit with us to help expedite your visit.

Why can't I drive myself home after my procedure?

Since you will be sedated, you will need to arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure. If you do not have a driver your procedure will be cancelled. You cannot go home by cab unless you have a responsible party with you.
