Additional informations from Phoebe Putney:

The Digestive Health Center located at TWO Meredyth Place is the second major medical building on the Meredyth Drive campus. The $35 million complex houses Phoebe Gastroenterology Associates, an eight-physician practice that is one of the largest and busiest in South Georgia. The endoscopy area on the second floor has eight procedure rooms and 26 prep/recovery rooms providing the latest technologies, including high definition endoscopes and high resolution monitors.

The Center improves access to care by allowing an increased number of patients to seek care more rapidly from gastroenterologists and mid-level providers. In fact, appointment wait times have been reduced from four months to under two weeks.

Conveniently located at the Meredyth destination, the Center offers patients and families easy access to gastroenterology services in a comfortable, convenient patient setting.

Convenient Access, Private Rooms, Discreet Exits, All Part of the Healing Environment

To that end, the complex provides private pre-operative and recovery rooms where family members can also wait in privacy while their loved ones are cared for.

Patients are able to pull up to the front of the building for parking or exit vehicles under a covered area with attendant assistance as needed. Registration and pre-operative testing are all self-contained in the facility. Patients have discreet exits as well so they may leave after a procedure without walking through public waiting areas.

The Center also offers other new services, including on-site consultations with a dietitian and disease management with mid-level practitioners who help navigate care for patients with complex diseases.
