About Your Appointment
New patients and second opinion patients are seen within five to seven business days; all appointments for the Coleman Foundation Comprehensive Clinic for Gastrointestinal (GI) Cancers are on Tuesday afternoons. Prior to your appointment, the clinical team, which is comprised of gastroenterologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists, surgeons and a pathologist, who will meet and review your records and tests to determine a preliminary plan of care.
When you arrive for your appointment, you will see all the relevant specialists to evaluate you and determine the best course of treatment. The patient should expect to spend a minimum of 2 hours in our clinic to meet with all relevant specialists. At the end of this visit, patients will receive a personalized, well-defined treatment plan.
Receiving Your Cancer Care at Rush

Throughout the entire process, we will provide you with comprehensive care and provide continual follow-up to your primary care physician and/or internist, and any other physicians that you would like. We are available to answer your questions and ensure that your experience is a positive one.
