How do you go about talking to a new doctor? First you need to find one that is with a top notch Gastroenterology medical facility. Have you tried to make an appointment with the Mayo Clinic? Next best would be to do research online and find another gastroenterology with a high ranking. Try US News & World Report’s Best Doctors and Hospitals.

I did a lot of research online, Google searches, and read a lot of articles and looked up the doctors mentioned. To talk to the doctor you have to make an appointment with them. I visited 3 doctors before I decided who was the best fit for me, the one I felt most comfortable with, and the one that I felt had the most knowledge concerning my case. In my case I gathered all the test results I had done pre and post fundoplication surgery and sent to the doctors ahead of time so they could review before I got there. I tried to go to the Mayo Clinic but my insurance didn't cover out of network. I was fortunate to find a doctor close by, about an hour away, that had extensive experience with digestive surgery.
