Southeast Texas Gastroenterology Associates is the largest GI practice between Houston, Texas, and Baton Rouge, La. We have served the people of The Golden Triangle, East Texas and parts of Louisiana since 1988. All SETGA physicians are board-certified and see patients for gastrointestinal and digestive disease consultations, as well as colon cancer screening and endoscopy services.
Southeast Texas Gastroenterology Associates is committed to ensuring that your experience with us is relaxed and worry-free, from consultation through recovery. To assist us, we ask that you read and comply with the all guidelines.
At Southeast Texas Gastroenterology Associates, your time is as valuable to us as it is to you. Upon scheduling your surgery, a member of our staff will provide you with the required forms to fill out. We encourage you to take time to complete these before arriving on day of surgery, so that we may care for you promptly. If you happen to misplace any of the provided forms, duplicates are available for download.
Southeast Texas Gastroenterology Associates accepts most major insurances. As a courtesy to you, we will bill your insurance carrier for you; however, we cannot tell you what your policy will cover. Since your insurance policy and coverage is between you and your carrier, we urge you to contact them prior to your procedure. You will be responsible for any co-pays and/or deductibles. We accept cash, check or credit card.
