The Team
Our solo practice is a small, personalized,
caring, friendly alternative to large multi-provider pediatric
gastroenterology practices. All outpatients are seen in one office.
New patients (younger than 22 years) are given one hour appointments and follow-up patients are
given half hour appointments. Dr. Sirlin performs all procedures, which normally can be scheduled within a three week period. Results of
laboratory, radiologic and pathology reports are relayed to families promptly. Our staff
becomes familiar with patients and their families so that it is hoped
that no one feels they are part of a system in which waiting time for
appointments, returned phone calls, or prescription refills is
unreasonable. Written reports regarding each patient visit are
forwarded to referring doctors and, if desired, to any other doctor or
allied health professional that cares for your child. A copy of this
report is also sent to the child's family. Furthermore, our practice
has liasons with allergists, psychologists, registered dieticians,
speech pathologists, and other specialists whose input might benefit
our patients. Finally, Dr. Sirlin and one of the office staff speak
fluent Spanish. |
