Direct Access Referral System
Our endosQ Direct Access Referral System (DARS) allows your patients to be scheduled for routine gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures without prior consultation with the Gastroenterologist. They will be seen by our Clinical Gastroenterology Concierge, who is extremely trained in the assessment of patients for direct access procedures. If Dr Jennifer Schafer has any concerns, she will speak with the Gastroenterologist directly.
Patients must have few or no co-morbidities to access this service and is ideally suited to those who are otherwise well and whose general practitioners are asking very specific questions – e.g. referring a patient for a colonoscopy on the basis of a Positive Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) or for example a surveillance procedure with a history of known colonic polyp.
Please liaise directly with us if you require referral assistance or additional information to help with your referral.
