WHAT WE DON'T DO

Our friendly staff will accommodate your appointment needs in a timely and helpful manner. Your appointment will be scheduled by our front office personnel while any testing or surgeries will be arranged by our surgery scheduler. Except in the case of emergencies, our office hours are by appointment only but we do keep several open slots daily for acute injuries.

At your first visit, you will be asked to complete a Patient Information form and a Patient History and Physical form. For your convenience, you may download the form(s) from our website, print and complete it and bring it along with you to your appointment.

Patients will be asked to provide insurance and medical history information, photo ID such as a driver’s license, medical records, and x-rays and/or test results from previous physicians. We make every effort to provide the highest quality care and to minimize your waiting time. It is our policy to never rush a patient for the utmost in care.

What to expect on your first visit...
  • Patient interview
  • Detailed physical exam
  • X-rays (if necessary)
  • MRI/Procedure scheduling
  • Diagnosis & Treatment plan discussed
  • Questions & clarification of treatment plan
Please bring the following items
with you to appointments:
  • Your insurance card or other health coverage information and a photo ID. Some insurance carriers require you to have a referral or primary care physician authorization before treatment is given. Please check with your carrier if you are in doubt.
