Chronic diarrhea affects millions of Americans and is often misunderstood or misdiagnosed. At Patients Medical in New York City, we don’t just treat the symptom—we uncover the cause. Using an integrative blend of conventional, functional, and holistic medicine, we help you find lasting relief by healing your gut, rebalancing your system, and restoring your quality of life.

It depends. If red flags are present (like blood in stool, significant weight loss, or anemia), we may refer you to a GI specialist for further imaging.
