What to expect at your first visit
Bring a list of your medications and a short history of your symptoms: when they started, how often they happen and whether they are linked to meals. Bring any earlier endoscopy or colonoscopy reports and recent blood work.
The gastroenterologist reviews your history, examines you and may order blood work or other tests. If you need a colonoscopy or endoscopy, your gastroenterologist explains why, how to prepare and where it will be done, and goes over the results with you afterward.

Cynthia QuainooM.D. · Gastroenterology
When should I see a gastroenterologist?
See a gastroenterologist for heartburn that keeps coming back, ongoing belly pain or bloating, constipation or diarrhea that lasts, or a change in your bowel habits. Get emergency care for severe abdominal pain, vomiting blood, or black or bloody stools.
Where are colonoscopies and endoscopies done?
Not in our office. If you need one, your gastroenterologist tells you where it will be done and how to prepare, and reviews the results with you at a follow-up visit.
What is H. pylori?
H. pylori is a common stomach infection that can cause indigestion, stomach pain and ulcers. It can be tested for, and it is usually treated with a short course of medicines.
How soon can I see a gastroenterology specialist?
Most new patients are seen within the week. Book online or call. Our team confirms your time the same day in most cases.
Is gastroenterology covered by my insurance?
We accept Medicaid (New York), Medicare, Fidelis Care, Healthfirst, UnitedHealthcare (incl. Oxford), Aetna and most major plans, and we verify your specific coverage before your visit, so there are no surprises.
Which location should I visit?
Gastroenterology appointments are at our 2846 Stillwell Avenue location in Coney Island.
Do I need a referral?
Many plans let you book specialists directly. If yours requires a referral, our primary care team can often handle it in-house. That's the advantage of a multi-specialty center.
