Hepatitis C

Know your risks, get diagnosed & get informed, effective care.

Did you know that you can have hepatitis C (HCV) and not even know it? Although this virus attacks the liver, it may cause no symptoms until liver damage shows up during a routine medical test. But without proper care, HCV can lead to cirrhosis, liver cancer or liver failure.

Are you at risk for this dangerous disease?

HCV is usually transmitted through blood that is contaminated with the virus. It is most common in people who:

• Have taken illicit drugs through a contaminated needle or nasal apparatus
• Had blood transfusions or organ transplants before 1992
• Have had tattoos or body piercings with contaminated needles

A quick & accurate diagnosis is the first step to better health.

It’s important to be tested for HCV if you think you might be at risk. Our board-certified gastroenterologists can diagnose the disease, determine the amount of virus in your blood and pinpoint the genetic makeup of the virus.

A diagnosis of HCV doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll need treatment. We’ll work with you to help you make the most appropriate decision based on the results of your tests and other factors. Your health is our top priority.

Highly competent care by physicians with years of experience treating HCV.

Our skilled and compassionate physicians understand HCV and the latest treatment options. We will design an individualized treatment plan, based on the most advanced therapies, to help clear the virus from your bloodstream.

We’ll also provide patient education and support and monitor your progress every step of the way. And we are always available to answer your questions and address your concerns.
