Coronavirus has impacted all our lives in unexpected and unprecedented ways. At Gastrointestinal Associates, our physicians have been following national as well as state/local guidelines regarding ongoing treatment of patients with gastrointestinal illness and want to provide the safest experience possible. With that in mind we are asking you work with us on a few items:

• Please wear a mask when you come to visit us.
• Please understand we are not allowing any visitors to enter the building unless the patient requires it because of physical, mental, or other disability.
• We will be taking the temperature and asking screening questions of all who come to our offices.
• You will notice social distancing cues throughout the building. We ask you help us by observing those cues.

Our group of providers believe that these measures will go even further to minimize the risk of virus transmission in the Knoxville community and ultimately pave the way for a more rapid return to a normal lifestyle. If you are a patient or family member with questions or concerns regarding your medical care, please contact our office at (865) 588-5121.
