Gastromed Healthcare

What Gastromed Healthcare does

Gastromed Healthcare, P.A. is a private, multi-physician gastroenterology practice serving Central New Jersey from four clinical locations, with its primary site in Hillsborough and additional offices in Bridgewater, Watchung (co-located with the Surgicare of Central NJ ambulatory surgery center), and a fourth site. The practice is staffed by three board-certified gastroenterologists — Jeffrey S. Unger, MD, Surya P. Irakam, MD (President), and Robert S. Wiesen, MD — trained at NYU, Columbia-Presbyterian, UMDNJ, and Beth Israel, with two of the physicians having previously served as Chiefs of Gastroenterology at Robert Wood Johnson at Somerset. The practice executes 8,000+ procedures annually across the full adult gastroenterology service spectrum, including screening and diagnostic colonoscopy, upper endoscopy (EGD), ERCP, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), capsule enteroscopy, enteral stenting, hemorrhoid treatment, Bravo pH monitoring, esophageal motility testing, Orbera intragastric balloon placement, and in-office biologic infusion, supplemented by telemedicine visits and a patient portal.

The practice's underlying technology is conventional gastroenterology instrumentation combined with consumer-facing digital tools: standard endoscopy suites, ambulatory surgery access via Surgicare, capsule-based and pH/motility diagnostic systems, intragastric balloon systems, an Open Access screening colonoscopy workflow that eliminates the pre-procedure office visit for eligible patients, telemedicine infrastructure, a patient portal, and online scheduling through Zocdoc. Patient financing for elective procedures is facilitated through Prosper Health, indicating a cash-pay commercial pathway for non-insurance-covered services such as the Orbera program.

Gastromed generates revenue primarily through fee-for-service professional billing for gastroenterology procedures and office consultations reimbursed by commercial insurance and Medicare, augmented by cash-pay revenue from the Orbera weight-loss balloon program and recurring biologic infusion revenue. The practice operates as an affiliate of Consensus Health, LLC, a New Jersey independent practice support organization that provides shared back-office, payer contracting, and operational infrastructure. Patients are individual healthcare consumers across Central New Jersey acquired through physician referrals, primary-care relationships, Open Access self-scheduling, and Zocdoc-driven consumer demand.
