Find gastroenterology care in Brooklyn

Find the right clinician for your visit

Looking for a gastroenterologist in Brooklyn? Start with the provider's qualifications, office location and the type of appointment you need. BestDoc brings participating gastroenterology profiles together so you can compare those details before opening a schedule. The current locations in this directory are in Brooklyn, including Downtown Brooklyn, Flatbush and Myrtle.

A gastroenterologist is a physician who specializes in the digestive system. A gastroenterology team can also include a physician assistant or nurse practitioner. Those are different professional roles: a PA or FNP listing should not be read as an MD or DO listing. Check the credentials next to the provider's name, then read the profile to decide whether that appointment matches the care you are looking for. The American College of Gastroenterology explains the gastroenterologist's role.

Choose the Brooklyn office you can attend

An appointment is tied to a particular practice location. Compare the office shown on each card and check the full address in the provider's profile. Downtown Brooklyn, Flatbush and Myrtle are separate choices; selecting a provider does not mean that the same appointment is offered at every office.

If you change locations while browsing, review the address and available times again before continuing. Choose a location that works for the initial consultation and any follow-up visits you may need. This directory does not currently show a Manhattan office, so a Brooklyn listing should not be treated as a Manhattan appointment.

Check the visit reason before selecting a time

Use the visit options on the profile to distinguish an initial appointment from a follow-up. Depending on the provider, the list may include Initial Consultation/New Patient Visit or Gastroenterology Consultation. Pick the option that describes your visit instead of choosing an unrelated reason simply because it displays a time.

An office consultation is not the same as a colonoscopy or another procedure. Do not assume that booking a consultation schedules a procedure, includes preparation instructions or reserves a procedure facility. The practice will explain any separate arrangements. For general information about that distinction, see the NIDDK guide to colonoscopy.

Review insurance information for your exact plan

A familiar insurance company name is a starting point, not a coverage decision. Review the insurance information available for the provider and confirm the exact plan, network, referral requirements and expected patient cost with the practice and your insurer before the visit.

The same applies when searching for a gastroenterologist who accepts Medicaid, Fidelis or MetroPlus. A carrier listing does not establish that every plan from that carrier covers every clinician, location or service. A consultation and a later procedure may also have different requirements. Keep your insurance card and any referral information available when checking the details.

Look beyond the first week of the calendar

The first visible dates may not contain an open appointment. Use Next available when it is shown, then check the month and date of the offered visit. Compare another provider's schedule if that date does not work for you. Availability can change, and this page does not promise a same-day or next-day appointment.

Before completing the booking steps, review the clinician, location, visit reason, appointment date and time together. If you are returning to a profile after changing a filter, check that those choices still match what you intended. For a possible medical emergency, call 911 rather than waiting for a routine online appointment.
