This post is an informational reference for current patients of mine. While the general public is welcome to read it, the specifics of the following applies only to my current patients:
One of my goals in starting Dr. Fischer, MD, was to be able to break free of the restrictions of insurance driven medicine and offer my patients what I believe is the best care. In this vein, I am excited to announce that we will be holding a screening clinic for esophageal cancer on the afternoon of Tuesday, October 28th.
Esophageal cancer has become much more common over the past few decades, and is often deadly. Now a new technology, called Esoguard, has been developed and approved by the FDA. Esoguard is able to detect pre-cancerous changes in the esophagus years before they would go on to be a problem. I believe that in the future this technology will be widely used in the American medical system, but right now most insurers have not gotten around to approving it, and it will be a long time before this technology is standardized and deployed widely at more traditional medical offices.
However, I am excited to announce that – for my patients who qualify – this technology is available now, at no out of pocket cost.
If you are a current patient of mine who is interested in learning more, please read the rest of this very carefully.
