As a smaller practice with three locations, our doctors are able to offer a more personalized, caring approach to their patients. During your initial consultation, your physician will listen patiently to your concerns. He or she will carefully review your GI symptoms and medical history. Finally, he or she will take time to carefully explain your initial diagnosis to help you understand the course of treatment that is recommended.
Sometimes your gastroenterologist will suggest additional testing (eg. colonoscopy, EGD, pillcam or motility testing) to confirm your GI diagnosis, and most often these can be scheduled in MDTEC, our private surgery center conveniently located in the Annapolis office.
The Annapolis office is also the location of our onsite infusion center. For GI disorders and diseases such as Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis or anemia, therapuetic infusions like Remicade, Entyvio and Injectafer are often recommended. DDA is the only gastroenterology practice in the area that offers an onsite infusion center for your comfort and privacy.
