The most recent appropriations for the Department of War expired at 11:59 p.m. EST on September 30, 2025. Military personnel will continue in a normal duty status without pay until such time as a continuing resolution or appropriations are passed by Congress and signed into law. Civilian personnel not engaged in excepted activities will be placed in a non-work, non-pay status.

If you have a scheduled appointment or other business at the MTF, please verify with your provider or applicable office within the MTF to ensure there are no changes in schedule. To learn how the lapse in appropriations affects your TRICARE benefit, visit www.tricare.mil/shutdown

Gastroenterology Services

The GI Clinic is located in the Specialty Clinic on the second floor.  Hours of operation are Monday - Friday 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. excluding federal holidays.  The Gastroenterology Clinic offers services addressing a variety of gastrointestinal disorders. We have a highly-trained, board-certified exceptionally skilled civilian physician. Our nurses, administrative personnel, and technicians are dedicated to providing you with compassionate, quality care.

We serve all individuals 18-65 years of age. Patients with liver issues or inflammatory bowel disease may be referred to Walter Reed/Bethesda. Generally, a GI consult from your Primary Care Manager is required to be seen in the GI clinic.
All appointments for colorectal cancer screening require a referral.

Appointments

For new and follow-up GI patients, an appointment can be made by calling the central appointment line at 301-677-8800 or our appointment line at 301-677-8138.  After your initial visit with a GI Provider, the GI staff will schedule you for an endoscopic procedure (Colonoscopy and/or EGD) if deemed appropriate.
The clinic receptionist or nurse will attempt to schedule you for this additional appointment while you're at your clinic visit with the GI Provider. 

Clinic consultation appointments usually take about 30-45 minutes.
If you're more than 10 minutes late, we may need to reschedule you, depending upon how many patients are already scheduled that day. This will be done on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the provider.

We don't have the capacity to care for children while you're in your appointment. Please make arrangements for someone to care for your children while you're here.

For life and death emergencies, please call 911. If you're not having an emergency, but need care after normal operating hours, please go to the nearest emergency room. We don't have any emergency services at Kimbrough.
