I'm Joanne Lima, pediatric gastroenterologist at Mount Sinai Kravis Children's Hospital, and I'm currently seeing patients at Mount Sinai, Five Towns and Mount Sinai doctors in Greenlawn, Long Island. My goal is to provide high quality, comprehensive, family centered care tailored for the individual stations. On Go we have these different Mount Sinai locations. Um, there's a lot of patients to be seen at offices closer to their home, but still have access to the many medical experts of Mount Sinai.

All at one visit, I performed diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy and colonoscopy, including biopsies, polytech, Timmy's Foreign Body Removals and balloon dilation. These procedures can be performed at the May Mount Sinai Hospital or at our Long Island location, Mount Sinai South NASA. During the time of Cove it it's become harder for our patients and their families to travel Thio, our main hospital campus for medical visits. Our Mount Sinai doctors in Greenland and five towns allow easy access and ample parking. We've taken any steps to ensure the safety of our patients and visitors during this challenging time are waiting. Rooms had ample space and patients are scheduled with plenty of time to avoid use of the waiting room. Social distancing procedures are enforced throughout the check in process and throughout the visit, all our facilities undergo vigorous disinfection procedures and sanitizing after each patient visits. And for those who prefer, we also offer telemedicine visits.
