Does Texas Diabetes & Endocrinology treat liver diseases?

Based on your individual FibroScan results, your healthcare provider may refer you to a Gastroenterologist for further evaluation.

How long does the procedure take?

The typical FibroScan exam takes about 15 minutes to complete. Once the scan has been completed, the results will be ready for the provider to review with you during your apointment.

Is FibroScan painful?

Good news! FibroScans are not at all painful, and no sedation is needed. If you have ever had an ultrasound before, you will find the FibroScan procedure to be similar. You lie on your back with your right arm above your head, providing access to your right rib cage so that your liver can be scanned. Gel is applied to the area and the FibroScan device is placed on the skin between your ribs. You may feel a slight vibration as the device sends energy pulses to your liver to gather measurements.

How long does it take to get results from a FibroScan?

Your results are available same day. Your healthcare provider will talk with you about your results during your appointment.

The scheduling department is terrible. They don't have anyone answering their scheduling line regardless of what part of the day you call. They rely solely on voicemail and have a 72 hour wait time policy for call backs. Office won't schedule a visit without a physician referral as though to suggest patients don't have the autonomy to decide on their own if they want to get a second opinion or explore specialty care options. They are taking away the patients ability to be active in their healthcare. It's insulting and sends the message that doctors know all and don't leave room for nuance that includes patience experience. My PCP submitted a referral more than a week ago. PCP says it's been sent, TDE says they don't have it and outright refuses to take any additional steps that would require making an effort resolve this, like reaching out to my PCP's office as a courtesy to expedite the process. These people are actually turning away private pay dollars because they can't make a simple phone call. It doesn't matter how great the physicians might be if you can't get past unnecessary bureaucracy and awful front office staff.

I wanted to compliment Dr. Chaicha-Brom of Texas Diabetes & Endocrinology and the staff for a very professional visit today. I felt like all of my questions and concerns were addressed and that my thoughts were valued and utilized to assist in my care! I would recommend Dr. Chaicha-Brom & her team for any health needs that you may have.

Dr Harrison is an excellent provider who looks for the underlying cause of a health concern and does not just treat the symptoms. She is knowledgeable, kind and proficient.
