If you are looking for a gastroenterologist in Arlington VA, Gastroenterology Center of Northern Virginia (GC of NoVA) cares for patients at our Arlington office next to VHC Health (formerly Virginia Hospital Center). We provide digestive health evaluations, colon cancer screening, and endoscopic procedures for adults across Arlington and the surrounding Northern Virginia communities. This page covers where we are, the services we offer, our office hours, and what you can expect when you schedule a visit.
Our Arlington office
Our Arlington gastroenterology office is located at 1715 N George Mason Drive, Suite 403, Arlington, VA 22205. The office sits adjacent to VHC Health, in Zone C, with patient parking in Parking C. You can reach the office by phone at (703) 522-7476, and our fax number is (703) 528-4209. Being next to the hospital makes it convenient for patients who also need lab work, imaging, or a procedure on the same campus.
Office hours
The Arlington office is open Monday through Thursday from 8:30am to 5:00pm and Friday from 8:30am to 4:30pm. We recommend calling ahead to confirm appointment availability, since procedure days and provider schedules can affect timing. If you reach us outside of office hours, you can leave a message and our team will follow up on the next business day.
Gastroenterology services we offer in Arlington
As a gastroenterologist practice in Arlington VA, we evaluate and manage a wide range of digestive health concerns. Our services include colonoscopy and colorectal cancer screening, upper endoscopy (EGD), and care for conditions such as GERD and acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, and hemorrhoids. We also provide liver and hepatology care along with diagnostic GI evaluations for symptoms like abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, and difficulty swallowing. Each plan is individualized, and your gastroenterologist will tailor recommendations to your history and symptoms.
Where we perform endoscopy procedures
When a procedure such as a colonoscopy or upper endoscopy is recommended, we perform it at facilities affiliated with the practice rather than in the office itself. These include VHC Health, Inova Fairfax Hospital, and Woodburn Endoscopy Center. The location is chosen based on your needs and the type of procedure. If you want to know what a colonoscopy involves before your appointment, our guide on what to expect during a colonoscopy in Northern Virginia walks through the prep, the procedure, and recovery.
Who we serve near Arlington
Our Arlington office serves patients throughout Arlington and nearby parts of Northern Virginia, including Falls Church, McLean, and the Alexandria area. Many patients come to us through a referral from their primary care physician, while others reach out directly when they have digestive symptoms or are due for screening. We also see patients at our Annandale office, so you can choose the location that is most convenient for you. You can learn more about that location on our Annandale gastroenterology office page.
Colon cancer screening in Arlington
One of the most common reasons people see a gastroenterologist in Arlington VA is colon cancer screening. The American Cancer Society recommends that adults at average risk begin colorectal cancer screening at age 45, and a colonoscopy is the only screening test that can both find and remove polyps in a single exam. People with a family history, inflammatory bowel disease, or prior polyps may need to start earlier or screen more often, which is something we determine individually. To compare your options, see our overview of colon cancer screening options in Northern Virginia.
What to expect at your first visit
Your first visit usually begins with a conversation. We will ask about your symptoms, your personal and family medical history, and any medications you take, and then talk through whether testing or a procedure makes sense for you. It helps to bring your insurance card, a photo ID, a list of your current medications, and any relevant records or referrals from another physician. If a procedure is recommended, our team will explain the prep, schedule it at the right facility, and answer your questions before you leave. Our goal is for you to feel informed and comfortable at every step.
