    I grew up in Wellsville, NY, south of Buffalo. My first mentor was my mother who was a pediatric nurse practitioner. For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved the outdoors and animals, and knew at a young age that I wanted to work in biology. My focus within GI is hepatology, and I’ve always been fascinated by the complexity of the liver. I’m passionate about improving the overall quality of life for children with chronic medical conditions. It’s rewarding to have the chance to impact a child’s life at an early age, and prevent problems down the line. Also, I love interacting with people, and medicine gives me the chance to meet new people – kids and parents – every day. I volunteer at Camp Boggy Creek – a camp for chronically ill kids. Dr. Mcgoogan is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Colitis. Her top areas of expertise are Malnutrition, Morning Sickness, Chronic Idiopathic Constipation (CIC), and Biliary Atresia.

    Listening is key. I may sometimes end up running late, but I take as much time with families as needed, addressing all their concerns and doing whatever it takes to provide the best care I can for each child I see. At the end of the day, families know I’m treating their child as if I was treating my own. Kids are amazing, resilient people. They have their own way of looking at things and choosing their own path. It’s rewarding and humbling to help them make good choices. It’s also a privilege to be let into a family unit to help them with their child. I enjoy building nice relationships that are rewarding. It’s important to stop and listen to what children and families tell us, to address any concerns parents are feeling. For kids with chronic conditions, we sometimes see families struggling financially and try to stay sensitive to those pressures when ordering tests and medications.

    What is the definition of Colitis?

    Colitis is swelling (inflammation) of the large intestine (colon).

    When should I see a Colitis doctor near Jacksonville, FL?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing a Colitis doctor near Jacksonville, FL?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Colitis doctors near Jacksonville, FL?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Colitis doctors near Jacksonville, FL?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with a Colitis doctor near Jacksonville, FL?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Colitis doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Colitis doctor?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with a Colitis doctor near Jacksonville, FL?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Colitis doctor?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Colitis doctor may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Colitis doctors near Jacksonville, FL?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Colitis doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find a Colitis doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Colitis doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
