Summary

  • James Blake, DO, is a gastroenterologist based in Philadelphia, PA, in private practice for over 25 years. He completed his medical education at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, graduating in 1989. He undertook his internship at St Joseph's Hospital and completed residencies in Internal Medicine at both the University of Tennessee and Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1992 and completed his gastroenterology fellowship in 1994 at the same institution. Board certified in both internal medicine and gastroenterology.

    His experience includes expertise in colorectal cancer screening via the "holistic colonoscopy" (requires no escort for the procedure), utilizing NITRONOX gas via nasal canulization. This process allows the patient to remain comfortably awake, eliminating concerns basically decreasing challenges for stable vitals during the procedure. The practice also provides an alternative to drinking an oral preparation (a major deterrent for the colonoscopy), the "colon hydro cleanse", the high enema.
    The services rendered are via direct pay. Documentation of fees paid are provided to the patient for submission to their insurance plan for partial reimbursement.
