Happy Easter from all of us at InSite Digestive Health Care!

Meet Dr. John Marasigan. our board-certified gastroenterologist serving our offices in Camarillo and Oxnard. This is his treatment philosophy: "My philosophy in medicine is taking a partnership-approach to each individual’s health and needs. I don’t like to tell patients what to do, but instead discuss the options, benefits, and risks, and come to a decision with the patient. I was trained to treat each patient like you would a beloved family member, and I strive to do so with each visit." If you want to schedule an appointment with Dr. Marasigan, please call us at (805) 484-7921 (Camarillo Office) and (805) 983-0521 (Oxnard Office). https://bit.ly/3hmpKE9
