What to Expect at Your First Visit With Dr. Karen Zaghiyan

Welcome to our practice. Whether you’re seeking advanced treatment for a complex colorectal condition, exploring minimally invasive surgical options, or looking for an expert second opinion, Dr. Karen Zaghiyan provides compassionate, individualized care backed by world-leading expertise.

Patient Forms

To streamline your visit, please complete your new-patient forms prior to your appointment.

Second Opinions (Telehealth Available)

Dr. Zaghiyan offers comprehensive second opinions for patients seeking clarity, reassurance, or a higher level of surgical expertise, locally, nationally, and internationally.

How It Works:

  • Patients submit their imaging
  • Dr. Zaghiyan reviews the imaging and notes
  • A one-on-one telehealth consultation is scheduled

This second opinion consultation does not establish a doctor/patient relationship. If the patient desires to become a patient after the second opinion consultation, they would onboard as a new patient.

Insurance Note: Second-opinion consultations are billed out of pocket and cannot be submitted through insurance. Patients may use HSA/FSA funds if applicable.

Clinical Trials

As a national leader in colorectal surgery and innovation, Dr. Zaghiyan participates in numerous clinical trials focused on improving outcomes, reducing complications, and advancing minimally invasive techniques. Because trials open and close throughout the year, availability varies. If you're interested in participating, please ask our team about current opportunities.

Insurance Information

Dr. Zaghiyan accepts a variety of insurance plans for in-office visits and surgical care. Coverage varies depending on your plan, medical needs, and whether certain services are considered out-of-network. Our team will help verify your benefits and provide guidance before your visit so you know exactly what to expect.
