Please arrive 15 minutes before your first appointment to complete registration forms which include your personal health history. You may complete these forms before your appointment by clicking on medical forms, and printing and filling them out.

Occasionally our physicians must attend to emergency patients. Although infrequent, this may result in delays to your scheduled appointment. We sincerely apologize and ask that you please understand when these delays occur.

Phone Calls

We understand that you may have questions. In the event that a physician must be consulted before your question can be accurately answered, please provide our staff with a reasonable amount of time to respond to your question.


Medication Refills

Medication refills should be obtained while in the office during your appointment. Please make sure all refill requests are faxed over to us by your pharmacy. Prescription refill requests cannot be completed after hours.


Surgery Information

After the physician discusses the need for surgery with the patient and the patient agrees to go forward with surgery, our surgery coordinator obtains the necessary information from the patient to schedule surgery. After we receive medical clearance from the primary care physician and authorization from the insurance company, the surgery will be scheduled at one of the following locations:

Outpatient

Inpatient

Information regarding the surgery and instructions to be followed will be provided by the surgery coordinator and by the facility where the surgery is completed. Some useful information and directions to the surgery centers that we currently utilize can be obtained from the links above.
