Appointments

Appointments should be made as far in advance as possible. However, when emergencies arise, we will see you promptly. If you are unable to keep an appointment, a 24-hour notice is required so that we may schedule that time for another patient who needs our assistance.

Occasionally there may be a delay in our planned schedule. If this happens, we will notify you and keep you informed of the anticipated length of that delay. We appreciate your patience and will try to keep your wait as short as possible. To assist in your care, please bring all of your current medications to each visit.

Online Forms

Troubleshooting: The Acrobat Reader® plug-in is required in order to access the online patient forms. If you do not have the Acrobat Reader® plug-in, a free version is available from Adobe through their website. To download the Acrobat Reader® plug-in, click here..

Payment and Insurance

When you call our office for your appointment, we will give you an estimate of the fees for the visit. We will be happy to accept your personal check, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or cash.

We are participating providers for Medicare and many managed care networks. Therefore, as a service to you, we will accept your co-insurance or co-payment at the time of your appointment and will bill your insurance directly. Please bring your current insurance card(s) with you so that we can assist you in determining your benefits.

For our HMO patients, we ask your assistance in obtaining a written authorization from your primary physician prior to your scheduled appointment. Without this, your appointment may be delayed. Our insurance specialist is available to arrange a payment plan for all services. We encourage you to communicate your needs to us.
