Patient & Practice Status Updates

Tuesday, March 31, 2020

To our valued patients,

We want you to know that your health and safety is our utmost priority.  In light of the pandemic and to protect the health and safety of our patients, we are pleased to announce that the physicians of GCSA will be offering telemedicine services to our patients.

Our clinics also remain open to see you in person if you have an urgent issue that cannot wait.  We continue to take every safety precaution at all of our locations to ensure your safety, but having a “virtual” visit by telephone or video conference will allow you access to your physician from the security of your home or workplace.

Please contact your physician’s office, and our staff will schedule an appropriate visit and provide you with the detailed instructions to conduct your appointment.  Our physicians and office locations are available at gastroconsa.com or via telephone at (210) 614-1234.

Very best regards,

John Spiekerman
Executive Director

Dear Patients,

The health and safety of GCSA patients and our staff is our highest priority. GCSA has been closely following updates from the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS). Based on current information, GCSA will continue to provide office visits and procedures to a healthy patient. If anything changes, we will update our website, social media, and the patient portal.

We are continuing our protocols for screening patients over the phone and in our offices, to identify persons who are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, those who have recently visited areas where COVID-19 is spreading, and those who have been in contact with people who have traveled to areas where COVID-19 is spreading. We will continue our protective measures in our clinics and endoscopy centers for the foreseeable future. Please do not hesitate to send a portal message or call our office at (210) 614-1234 if you need us.

Sincerely,

John Spiekerman
Executive Director
