How It Works
Sample Collection: During your endoscopic procedure or biopsy, tissue samples are collected.
Analysis: Samples are sent to our in-house pathology lab for detailed examination.
Diagnosis: Dr. Ilyas and his team analyze the samples and provide a comprehensive report.
Treatment Planning: Your gastroenterologist uses the pathology results to create a personalized treatment plan.
If you or a loved one requires pathology services for a digestive or liver condition, contact us today. Our team is here to provide accurate diagnoses and support your journey to better health.

FAQs About Insurance & Coverage
Which insurance plans do you accept?
We accept most major commercial and marketplace plans, Medicare and Medicare Advantage, and Medicaid, CHIP, and TRICARE. Because networks change, call (713) 393-7744 with your member ID and we will verify your specific plan before you come in.
Will you tell me my out-of-pocket cost before my visit?
Yes. We verify benefits ahead of your appointment and explain your expected share — deductible, copay, or coinsurance — before anything is scheduled.
What if my plan is not accepted?
You can still be seen. We offer transparent all-inclusive self-pay pricing, including a $1,000 self-pay colonoscopy, so care remains accessible without coverage.
Where are your Houston offices?
We see patients at 7919 Kirby Dr, Houston, TX 77054 and at 1213 Hermann Drive, Suite 360, Houston, TX 77004, with our own endoscopy suite on site.
Do you accept insurance, and what if I do not have any?
We accept most major insurance plans and verify your benefits before your visit. If you are uninsured, we offer transparent all-inclusive self-pay pricing, so you know the cost before anything is scheduled.
Can I be seen the same day?
Yes. We hold openings for same-day and next-day visits and we accept walk-ins. Call (713) 393-7744 and our team will find the earliest appointment that fits your situation.
