Patient Information
Your primary care physician typically determines your need to consult with a surgeon. Depending on your insurance plan requirements, he or she will need to refer you to our office. Patients may self-refer when insurance coverage does not require a referral.
We see patients by appointment only. Scheduling an appointment may be done by your PCM or your may call us personally to set up your own arrangements. Appointments are typically available within 24 hours, however, you have the option to choose a more convenient time that works for your schedule.
