General Practitioners

Medical Weight Loss
Anemia, abdominal pain, bloating, belching, loss of appetite, weight loss, heartburn, acid reflux, difficult or painful swallowing, nausea, vomiting, and other symptoms that may be related to gastrointestinal disturbances.
Primary Care
Yes. Your physician will write his findings and instructions on the post-procedure instruction sheet and he will go over all the findings. He will give you a color copy of your pictures and send a copy to your primary care physician on the same day. Your physician will either request a follow-up appointment or call you with the results of the exam. It takes approximately 3-5 days for your physician to get a report back from the pathologist if biopsies or polyps were taken.
Colonoscopy
Double contrast barium enema (DCBE). Barium is a white liquid that helps to show the inside image of the colon and rectum on an X-ray. The liquid barium is put into the colon using a rectal tube. Multiple X-rays are taken to look for polyps or cancers. DCBE is less expensive than colonoscopy but also less effective. DCBE has not been established as a reliable colorectal cancer screening test in any rigorous scientific studies. One scientific report, the National Polyp Study, found that DCBE detected only 50% of the larger adenomas (greater than 1 cm), and DCBE is inferior to colonoscopy for detection of colorectal polyps. Because of its limitations, DCBE is not widely used for colorectal cancer screening. If used for screening, it should be done every 5 years. If polyps are found, colonoscopy should be performed. Another X-ray test, single contrast barium enema (SCBE) is generally considered inferior to DCBE for detecting polyps and, thus, SCBE is not recommended for colorectal cancer screening.
Constipation
Diarrhea

Internal Medicine
Dr. Jamali completed his Internal Medicine Residency at Wayne State Medical Center in Detroit Michigan in 1987. During his time in residency, he was awarded the honor of ‘Best Intern of the Year’ for his outstanding performance in his work and studies. He then completed a Gastroenterology Fellowship at the University of Connecticut Health Center at Farmington, Connecticut, and was later board certified in both internal medicine and gastroenterology by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM.)
Gastroenterology
We have been providing gastroenterology services to North Houston, Tomball, and the surrounding areas for over two decades.
Ovarian Cancer
Anyone with a personal history of colorectal cancer or adenomas at any age, or cancer of endometrium (uterus) or ovary diagnosed before age 50. Persons who have had colorectal cancer or adenomas removed are at increased risk of developing additional adenomas or cancers. Women diagnosed with uterine or ovarian cancer before age 50 are at increased risk of colorectal cancer. These groups should be checked by colonoscopy at regular intervals, usually every 3 to 5 years. Woman with a personal history of breast cancer have only a very slight increase in risk of colorectal cancer.
Colon Cancer
Most colon and rectal cancers originate from benign wart-like growths on the inner lining of the colon or rectum called polyps. Not all polyps have the potential to transform into cancer. Those that do have the potential are called adenomas. It takes more than 10 years in most cases for an adenoma to develop into cancer. This is why some colon cancer prevention tests are effective even if done at 10-year intervals. This 10-year interval is too long, in some cases, such as in persons with ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s colitis, and in persons with a strong family history of colorectal cancer or adenomas.
Endoscopy
Please bring your insurance card, and emergency contact person’s name and phone number for our records. Also, have a list of your current medications and allergies. If you are having and endoscopy procedure, you will be instructed on how to prep for the exam by one of the office nurses who will also schedule your exam for another day. Arrange to have someone bring you and drive you home on the day of the exam. We cannot let you drive or take the cab or bus home.

General Surgery
Dr. Chatha completed a post-doctoral research fellowship in pancreatic cancer at Massachusetts General Hospital / Harvard University, Boston and his internship in General Surgery at New York Hospital Queens / Weill Cornell Medical College. He later received his board certification after his Internal Medicine residency at NYU Winthrop University Hospital, New York. Dr. Chatha then moved south for GI fellowship at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology where he also served as Chief Gastroenterology Fellow and received advanced training in Upper Endoscopy, Colonoscopy, ERCP, and Fecal Microbiota Transplant.

Lesions
Symptoms of colorectal cancer vary depending on the location of the cancer within the colon or rectum, though there may be no symptoms at all. The prognosis tends to be worse in symptomatic as compared to asymptomatic individuals. The most common presenting symptom of colorectal cancer is rectal bleeding. Cancers arising from the left side of the colon generally cause bleeding, or in their late stages may cause constipation, abdominal pain, and obstructive symptoms. On the other hand, right-sided colon lesions may produce vague abdominal aching, but are unlikely to present with obstruction or altered bowel habit. Other symptoms such as weakness, weight loss, or anemia resulting from chronic blood loss may accompany cancer of the right side of the colon. You should promptly see your doctor when you experience any of these symptoms.
