Appointments
Please call the office to make an appointment in advance. If you are unable to keep your appointment, please call us as far in advance as possible so we may use that time to see another patient in need of care. We make a sincere effort to adhere to our appointment schedule and appreciate your patience if we are late due to emergencies or hospital surgery.
Fees & Payments
We make every effort to decrease the cost of your medical care. We accept cash, checks, MasterCard, Visa, Discover and CareCredit for your convenience. Copayments are due at the time of service. We will help assist you with all billing matters. However, remaining balances are the patient’s responsibility.
Prescriptions & Renewals
Please request all prescriptions and authorizations during our regular office hours, when our full records are available. Renewals requested at other times will be filled only for extreme or emergent circumstances. Please allow 48 hours for all prescription refill requests.
