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.

Excellent service beyond my expectations to help me

Phreesia online patient data manager, is a horrific hard-sell, data sharing monster, with a split personality: Who are they serving? 1) doctors, 2) patients or 3) Big Pharma and other advertising clients? (Hint: 3) . Specific complaints: Until I called to whine, I had the distinct impression that Phreesia participation was a requirement and a first step to access the medical professionals. It's not, so henceforth I will ignore. Second, they requested a copay I had already made, showing $50 after I had already paid a day earlier at the office's request through PHREESIA, for crying out loud. TDE's medical practice is so excellent, the medical care so good... But as a business proposition, the use of phreesia is akin to posting a filthy, rude person as a Walmart greeter. Whatever financial breaks the practice might enjoy from handing their patients off to a third-party marketer that will seek patient's private medical information, that's the face of the practice. Reputationally it ain't worth it.

As always I received excellent care from Rachel Kohl. She offered to get me samples of my medicine if it didn't come in today. It did come in but I appreciate the offer. Thanks

Dr Harrison is very kind and professional. Her staff is kind and knowledgeable. I only see her once or twice a year and she remembers who I am each time. I also appreciate her practice having tele-med appointments. I highly recommend Texas Diabetes & Endocrinology.
