AppGastro in Boone, NC

At AppGastro, we believe that each patient and provider become a team for treating an individual’s digestive problems. Our gastroenterology providers spend most of their time listening in order to understand your concerns and responding with the best treatment options for you. With the help of our professional staff, they also follow up to make sure that problems are resolved and your health improves.

AppGastro has achieved accreditation by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). Accreditation distinguishes our practice from many other outpatient facilities by providing the highest quality of care to its patients as determined by an independent, external process of evaluation.

NOTE: Service animals are permitted in our waiting room and clinic, but not in the endoscopy suite. If your service animal accompanies you to your endoscopy appointment, someone must come with you to sit with them in the waiting room.

Our on-call provider can be reached after hours by calling: 800-572-2134 (established patients only).

Patient Forms & Documents

Your First Visit

Your first visit is only a consultation, so there is no preparation required. Any tests or procedures you need will be scheduled for another day.

Please remember to bring with you:

  • your current, valid insurance card(s),
  • a government-issued photo identification (driver’s license or passport, etc.)
  • your current medications (an accurate list or the bottles),
  • your Primary Care provider’s name, address and telephone number.

Being well-prepared for your appointment will ensure that the doctor has all of the needed information to provide the best possible care for you. It will also help alleviate any unnecessary anxiety you may be feeling prior to your first appointment. If you have had any recent lab work, imaging or procedures done that relate to your current condition, please make sure that we get a copy of them. We look forward to your first visit.

Insurance & Billing

Please contact your insurance carrier to find out if we are a part of their network. Qualifications for insurance coverage may differ due to the uniqueness of each office visit or procedure. As a courtesy, we are happy to file your insurance claim. If you do not have insurance coverage or if we are not part of your insurance carrier’s network, you will be asked to pay for your visit at time of check in.

If you have questions concerning your insurance benefits for these procedures, feel free to print and follow the guide below when you contact your insurance representative.

Colonoscopy Prep

If you have had a colonoscopy in the past, you probably dread the idea of drinking that awful gallon of prep. The good news is that big improvements have been made in colonoscopy preparations in the last few years. It is still not fun, but it is much less to drink and significantly less unpleasant than it used to be.

The Colon prep that we most commonly prescribe is called Su-Prep.
