Who Are We ? Unlike many bustling specialty medical practices, we are quite small. Care is provided by one physician and one registered nurse. This is no accident. We've created a quiet and personal setting  that allows us to spend more time with patients and avoid the frenetic pace often encountered these days  We specialize in digestive tract problems, liver diseases, and cancer prevention. David Schneiderman, MD, FACP has practiced gastroenterology in Sacramento since 1988. He received his training at the University of California, San Francisco and is board certified in both internal medicine and gastroenterology. In addition to his clinical practice, Dr. Schneiderman participates in clinical research, serves as a reviewing consultant for the Medical Board of California, and volunteers for the American Cancer Society on their colon cancer prevention initiative. He recently completed a 2 year term as the Vice-Chairman, Department of Medicine, Mercy San Juan Hospital, and a 4 year term on the Medicine Executive Committee at the same institution. Jeri Rosatelli, RN, a graduate of San Francisco State University, is certified by the Association of Operating Room Nurses and has received advanced training in intravenous sedation for endoscopic procedures. She has specialized in the care of gastroenterology patients since 1997.

Where are We? 6403 Coyle Avenue, Suite 460. This is a 4-story white building across the parking lot adjacent to Mercy San Juan Hospital's Emergency Room (Map and Driving Directions). Endoscopic procedures are performed at the Hospital's outpatient department as well as the Greater Sacramento Surgery Center. (Map and Driving Directions).

About Your Consultation: If you are a new patient to our office, expect your initial visit to last approximately 45 minutes. Most of this time is allocated to the consultation, but registration and medical history forms will need to be completed as well. If you would like to complete them at home prior to your visit, both printable pdf and interactive online HTML versions are available. Remember, if you are applying for Easy Access Colonoscopy, the medical history form is different than the pre-consultation form.

About Your Procedure: If you have been scheduled for, or are considering an exam or diagnostic study offered through our office, educational materials and pre-examination instructions are available for your review. These include photographs and other images (including video). The Greater Sacramento Surgery Center (GSSC) requires a separate registration form and brief medical history. These forms are available in our office or can be downloaded and printed from the surgery center's website.

Our Library:  Clicking on the library should direct you to what we consider the best gastroenterologic and hepatic educational sites on the web.

Email: Patients may email us with general administrative questions about appointments for the office or for examinations. Both requests for scheduling or cancellations are welcome if your requests are not urgent BUT these postings are not as frequently checked as are telephone messages. Existing patients should not use email to ask us about prescription refills or ask a question about your medical condition since a) we may not check this email daily and b) privacy issues for electronic transmission of medical information have not yet been resolved.

Clinical Research: We are affiliated with a few outstanding clinical research centers here in Sacramento. All are involved in evaluating new treatments for esophageal, stomach and intestinal disorders prior to final FDA approval. All testing and medications are provided free of charge. Additionally, volunteer subjects are compensated for their time and level of participation. Please call or email for information about active clinical trials that are accepting volunteers.
