Jared Geist, MD

Company Overview

Gastroenterology Associates Upstate SC, led by Dr. Jared Geist, is a specialized medical practice providing comprehensive digestive health services including colonoscopies, endoscopies, diagnostic lab work, and patient consultations for gastrointestinal conditions. Operating from a single location in Greenville, SC (125 Halton Rd Suite 200), they serve patients across the Upstate region with a focus on preventive screenings like colorectal cancer detection and treatment of chronic digestive disorders. As a physician-owned specialty practice, they maintain a strong local reputation reflected in their 4.9/5 Google rating from 175 reviews, indicating high patient satisfaction and trust. The practice generates revenue primarily through procedure-based billing (colonoscopies averaging $1,500-$3,000 each, endoscopies $1,000-$2,500) and ongoing patient management, positioning them as a mid-sized specialty provider in a competitive healthcare market. With an estimated 10-20 W-2 employees (including nurses, medical assistants, administrative staff, and technicians), they qualify as a strong EBP candidate due to their stable workforce and recurring procedural volume. Their annual EBP savings potential ranges from $11,900 to $23,800 (10-20 employees × $1,190), representing significant recurring monthly savings that could be redirected toward staff retention, technology upgrades, or patient experience enhancements. The Medical Director (Dr. Geist) or an appointed Practice Manager would make benefits decisions, motivated by the opportunity to reduce overhead costs without compromising clinical quality — critical in a specialty where retaining skilled clinical staff directly impacts patient access and care continuity. Implementing EBP would strengthen their ability to offer competitive benefits in a tight healthcare labor market, helping them attract and retain certified medical assistants and endoscopy technicians who are in high demand across the Upstate SC region.
