What Connecticut Gastroenterology Associates PC does

Connecticut Gastroenterology Associates, P.C. (CGA) is a physician-owned professional corporation operating a multi-site gastroenterology medical practice headquartered in Hartford, Connecticut, and serving the Greater Hartford region. The practice employs 13 staff including five board-certified gastroenterologists (Butensky, Hoffman, Kang, Rossi, Shaikh) with subspecialty expertise in transplant hepatology, pancreaticobiliary disease/ERCP, inflammatory bowel disease, motility disorders, and women's GI health, plus advanced clinical staff (APRNs, RN, PA-C). Services span diagnostic and therapeutic GI care, with colon cancer screening/colonoscopy as the core program and a broad specialty portfolio including ERCP, capsule endoscopy (CapsoCam Plus), FibroScan liver elastography, laser endoscopy, liver transplant hepatology, hepatology, IBD, IBS, esophageal disease, motility disorders, women's GI care, and geriatric nutrition.

The business operates through eight office locations across Hartford, Manchester, Bloomfield, East Granby, Enfield, Glastonbury, Rocky Hill, and Suffield, with procedures performed at affiliated sites including St Francis Endoscopy Day Hospital, the Saint Francis GI Endoscopy, LLC joint-venture center in Windsor, Manchester Memorial Hospital, and Bloomfield Ambulatory Surgery Center. The practice is tightly integrated with Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center (primary hospital affiliation, faculty appointments, MyChart/EHR), Hartford Hospital's liver transplant team, and the Yale New Haven Liver Transplant Team. The practice accepts insurance including Medicare and bills on a per-visit and per-procedure basis with quote-based fees that vary by procedure type and insurance coverage; no subscription or recurring revenue model is used, despite the data's labeling of office visits as "subscription_recurring."

Go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven, relying on physician referrals, patient word-of-mouth, the gastroct.com website (with direct colonoscopy booking via QR code), and earned media such as Dr. Hoffman's appearances on NBC Connecticut for living-donor liver transplant awareness. No digital-health, telehealth, or AI-enabled capabilities are present. The practice has held consecutive Connecticut Magazine Top Docs recognition (notably 2015-2025 for Dr. Hoffman across Gastroenterology and Hepatology, and 2024 for Drs. Butensky and Rossi).

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Middlesex Gastroenterology Associates: Independent community gastroenterology group based in Middlesex County, Connecticut. Direct comparable in scale, specialty mix, and Connecticut community practice positioning, competing for similar screening and general GI volumes in adjacent CT towns.
• GI Alliance: Largest US gastroenterology practice platform, PE-backed, with hundreds of physicians across multiple states. Same core business model (independent GI practice operating offices and affiliated ASCs) and same revenue mix of screening colonoscopy, advanced endoscopy, and hepatology, but at vastly greater scale.
• United Digestive: PE-backed gastroenterology platform operating across the Southeast. Closely comparable to CGA in service offering (office-based GI plus affiliated endoscopy centers) and target patient base, but pursues aggressive consolidation versus CGA's independent single-region model.

Regional players

• Bristol Multi-Specialty / Bristol Gastroenterology: Hospital-affiliated gastroenterology services in the Bristol/Plainville area of central Connecticut. Adjacent geography to CGA's catchment with overlapping general GI and screening colonoscopy offerings, competing for patients along the I-84 corridor.
• UConn Health Division of Gastroenterology: Academic gastroenterology program in Farmington, CT, with faculty that overlap CGA's providers through joint appointments. Comparable in subspecialty depth (hepatology, IBD, advanced endoscopy) and serves as a regional tertiary referral source.

Broad incumbents

• Hartford HealthCare Digestive Health Center: Hospital-employed gastroenterology program within Hartford HealthCare, the dominant integrated delivery network in the Hartford region. Directly comparable clinical services and overlapping geographic catchment, but backed by a system that can negotiate payer contracts and invest in capital equipment far more aggressively.
• Yale Medicine Digestive Diseases: Academic gastroenterology group at Yale New Haven, the tertiary referral center for much of Connecticut. Directly comparable in clinical scope (general GI, hepatology, advanced endoscopy) and overlaps on liver transplant services, but operates at much larger scale as part of a multi-specialty academic system.

Others

• PE GI Solutions: ASC management and physician services platform focused on gastroenterology. Not a clinical peer but a business-model peer: the kind of partner/buyer that supports joint-venture endoscopy centers like CGA's Saint Francis GI Endoscopy site, and a likely counterparty in any future platform transaction.
