GastroMD.com - CO Center For Digestive Disorders

This site is home for Dr. Jensen’s practice, a gastroenterologist working in Longmont, Colorado. Though it desperately needs some work in the design area, this site is extremely useful for this doctor’s patients and for any other person who is concerned about their digestive system health, as you can read a very comprehensive glossary of medical terms and explanations of procedures, written in a language that is fit even for schoolchildren to understand. With all the discussion about the health system and medical error, this initiative seems really interesting, as it allows patients and their families to get familiarized with diagnosis methods and what to expect from them, plus they can read what the tests they will be subjected to want to determine, what and how long it takes to have them done and get the results. If you are reading about an upcoming procedure, it could be a good idea to double check on the preparations area to check if you need to follow any specific instructions or diet before or after your procedure, with a good plus: you’ll find the suggested diets on the site. One of the most useful bits of GastroMD.com –at least for people with no evident disease or condition— is the one on prevention and routine testing frequency, where you can learn how often you should perform exploratory tests to avoid further problems in the future.
