Your Office Visit

Schedule an appointment with one of our doctors.

Our entire staff is prepared to make your visits to our clinic and any subsequent surgery go as smoothly as possible. On your first visit, be sure to bring your insurance card and any previous x-rays or laboratory work that have been performed through another facility or physician and are pertinent to your visit with us.

Even though most patients are referred by a physician, we do accept self referrals. Your first visit will involve an examination by one of our physicians or nurse practicioner. We will then set up a surgery date for you if surgery is warranted. Except in emergencies, you will not go to the hospital from our clinic.

Our clinic is open 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays. Except for emergency situations, you can expect us to be on-time. Likewise, we will expect the same courtesy. If you are unable to keep this appointment, we require 24 hours notice, except in case of emergency. This allows us to use your reserved time for another patient. We look forward to providing your care.
