Chronic care management (CCM) is a specific care management service that provides coverage for patients who have two or more chronic diseases, allowing for an ongoing relationship with their individual medical care team. This program involves developing a comprehensive care plan, interactive remote communication and management (usually over the phone), management of medication, and coordination of care between providers.
Chronic care management is offered at Metropolitan Gastroenterology Associates and is helpful for individuals in terms of continuous health and wellness support. It also enables greater access to the appropriate healthcare resources, enhanced communication with care team members, fewer emergency room visits and hospital stays or readmissions, and greater engagement in one's healthcare.

Dr. Brett Hymel is my Gastro Doctor. I had a life altering event dealing with my digestive system, which changed my life by 180 degrees. There are many choices for Doctors and I just so happened to get assigned Dr. Hymel. Truly, I feel most fortunate to be under his continued care and rely on diagnosis and procedure's performed. I'd like to include, during and after procedures I experienced no pain or complications. Dr. Hymel, in my opinion is a very Experienced Professional.
Front desk quick, efficient, respectful, and courteous. Doc was relatively on time, spend sufficient time, answered all questions, was professional and left me with a sense of confidence.
I have being going to Dr Catinis for years. I can’t imagine going anywhere else. Dr Catinis is very thorough and caring. I just had 2 procedures done last week and was so impressed with the new procedure clinic. Dr Catinis’s staff are so courteous and kind especially at the procedures clinic.
Very nice staff. Quick and efficient service.
Dr. Reddy recently did my colonoscopy. I am 83 years old. To be honest, l was very apprehensive about having it done, but Dr. Reddy helped put my mind at ease. The colonoscopy, itself, went well. I must add, however, the nurse who started my IV, obviously, was incompetent. She left my arm seriously bruised. In my many, many years of having colonoscopies done, it never happened before. Dr. Reddy is excellent, but the nurse is another story.
