Information for Referring Physicians

Information for referring physicians. The Cotton-O'Neil Digestive Health Center welcomes referrals for consultative and endoscopic services.

Consultation or return appointments for established patients can be made by calling (785) 354-0539.

Patients can also be directly referred for upper endoscopy and/or colonoscopy. This service is appropriate for patients who have straightforward indications for endoscopy as well as for patients who need screening colonoscopy. To directly refer a patient to the Cotton-O'Neil Endoscopy Center, call (785) 354-0538. Information will be obtained, and we will contact the patient and schedule the exam.

The gastroenterologist on call is available through Stormont-Vail Health Connections at (785) 354-5230 for patients requiring urgent endoscopic examination and/or hospitalization. The Cotton-O'Neil Division of Gastroenterology physicians utilize a hospital call rotation system where one of the five gastroenterologists is on call for a week and manages the inpatient service. The rotation begins and ends each Friday morning.
