Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to queries regarding bookings, reports, pain management, and clinic rules.

Is diagnostic endoscopy painful?

No, an endoscopy is generally not painful. A local anesthetic spray is applied to the back of your throat to numb it and prevent gagging. In many cases, a mild sedative or light anesthesia is administered intravenously, meaning you will fall asleep and feel absolutely nothing during the 5 to 10-minute procedure.

What is a Liver Fibroscan and is it safe?

A Liver Fibroscan is an ultrasound-like, completely non-invasive scan used to measure liver stiffness and fatty deposits. It is 100% safe, pain-free, requires no needles, and produces reports instantly. The procedure takes only 5–10 minutes, and the patient can drive home immediately afterward.

How can I obtain my diagnostic test reports?

Endoscopy and colonoscopy visual reports are generated on the same day. Biopsy results (if tissue is sent to pathology) typically take 3 to 4 working days. You can collect reports from the clinic front desk, or request them digitally on your registered WhatsApp number or email.

What are the consultation timings?

Dr. Shailendra Kumar Jain consults at Kailash Gastro Clinic from Monday to Saturday, between 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM. The clinic is closed on Sundays. Prior booking is advised to prevent extended waiting room delays.

Do I need a referral to schedule an appointment?

No, a prior referral is not mandatory. You can book an appointment directly. However, if you have prior medical files, prescriptions, or blood test reports, please carry them with you for a more comprehensive diagnostic assessment.
