We made a commitment at the start of the pandemic to keep our patients, their family members, our providers, and our staff safe. We have remained true to this commitment. We will continue to do so by following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control, the Virginia Department of Health, and the Governor.

We have resumed in-person office visits and have been so happy to see patients in person again. We missed you.

We know that colorectal screenings, and especially colonoscopies, prevent cancer and save lives. Some patients delayed preventive care such as screening colonoscopies and annual skin cancer check-ups during the pandemic. If you are one of them, we encourage you to delay no longer. Preventive care saves lives.

We look forward to serving you, your family, and your friends.

Thank you,
The physicians and staff of Gastrointestinal Specialists, Inc.
