Center for Digestive Health

What Center for Digestive Health does

Center for Digestive Health is a privately held, multi-site gastroenterology medical practice headquartered at 1817 North Mills Avenue in Orlando, Florida, serving the Central Florida region for more than 40 years (founded circa 1984). The practice operates seven physical offices across the Orlando MSA, staffed by six board-certified gastroenterologists (Dr. Henry Levine, Dr. William Mayoral, Dr. Marlon Ilagan, Dr. Samuel Giday, Dr. Ehsan Rafiq) and three advanced practice providers (Jacqueline Larrea APRN, Suhail Colon APRN, Heather Korkowski NP) plus one physician assistant (Brendan Sharer PA-C).

The practice delivers a vertically integrated digestive care platform organized across five wholly-owned operating units: clinical gastroenterology services, the Center for Digestive Endoscopy (state-of-the-art outpatient endoscopic facility), a CAP-certified in-house pathology laboratory, an on-site infusion suite administering Remicade and supporting Video Capsule and Bravo pH studies, and anesthesiology services supporting procedural sedation. Endoscopic Research Inc., a sixth entity, runs clinical research studies. The 2026-launched GI Fast Track Direct Access program allows qualifying patients to bypass traditional consults and proceed directly to colorectal screening via physician fast-track referral.

Revenue is generated through insurance-billed professional and facility fees across clinical consultations, endoscopic procedures, infusion therapy, diagnostic testing, and pathology services. The practice accepts Medicare and multiple private insurance plans and bills through three consolidated payment entities. Patients are acquired via primary care physician referrals, self-referral for screenings, online reputation channels, and the Direct Access program. Operational technology consists of Klara secure messaging, the ModMed Cloud Patient Quick Pay platform, and the MyHealthPatient Portal — none of which involve proprietary AI/ML components. The practice was recognized in Newsweek's America's Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers 2024 (Florida) and Orlando Magazine's Top Doctors 2023.
