What is irritable bowel syndrome (ibs)?
Irritable bowel syndrome affects roughly 10-15% of US adults, more often women than men, and many are told there is nothing to do. Modern IBS care is structured: clarify the subtype, rule out mimics, then build a low-FODMAP-informed plan with stress, sleep, and targeted therapy as needed.
How long does treatment last?
It depends on the condition and how you respond. Many patients see meaningful improvement within 4-8 weeks; chronic conditions may require ongoing management. We set clear expectations at the first visit.
Are same-day appointments available?
Yes — subject to scheduling. Call (305) 209-0001 or book online to confirm.
Can I continue care by telehealth?
Yes, for most follow-ups. The first visit is usually in-person for a complete exam; medication adjustments and lab reviews work well by telehealth.
