About Your Appointment

Appointments

You are requested to come 15 minutes early for your appointment to ensure that the check-in process is done thoroughly. If you do not have your new patient forms, you will need to arrive 30 minutes prior to your appointment. This will allow you to maximize your time with the provider.

Please bring a photo ID and current updated insurance card with each visit. For your convenience, when you make an appointment over the phone, you will be given the option of creating an online account using our patient portal. Please utilize the patient portal to complete as much information as possible before before you arrive.

Patient Forms

Please print and compete the New Patient Forms and bring them with you to your appointment.

• New Patient Forms
• Medical Record Release
• Notice of Privacy Practices

Your First Visit

Please bring the following items to your first appointment.

• Completed New Patient Forms (see above)
• A list of your medications (both over the counter and prescription, with dosages)
• Copies of any lab reports, X-ray reports (including MRI and CT Scan Reports)

Referrals, Co-payments and Deductibles

If we participate in your insurance plan, we will submit claims for you. All referrals, co-pays and deductibles are due at the time of your visit. If you do not have your co-pay or referral, your appointment will need to be rescheduled. If we do not participate in your insurance plan, payment is expected at the time of service. Any services deemed non-covered or deductibles are your responsibility.

No Show or Late Fee

Due to the increased cost of health care, it is very important for us to value our time and commitment. Please give us a 24 hour notice to change your appointment in order to avoid no-show fee of $50.00.

If you are having any symptoms suggestive of a life threatening emergency, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
