Before you come
What to do before you come depends on the test or scan. Ask us how to get ready, at the front desk or on WhatsApp.
When you have stomach pain that comes and goes, most of all when you are hungry or at night. When bloating, heartburn or a feeling that you want to vomit keeps coming back. The test uses a little blood or some stool. We tell you which when you come.
If you have a question about a result after you get home, send us a message.
