Office Information: About Your Visit

Appointment Information

Patient appointments are scheduled by calling our office during normal business hours. If you are unable to keep your appointment, at least 24 hours notice should be given to our office, if possible. Patients should give their home and work numbers in case the office needs to contact you.

Fees & Payments

We make every effort to decrease the cost of your medical care. Therefore, we request payment arrangements for all office services at the time they are rendered unless prior arrangements have been made. We accept cash, checks, MasterCard, Visa, and Discover for your convenience. If we are a participating provider of your insurance company, we will bill them. However, payment is the patient's responsibility. We will help in any way we can to assist you in handling claims.
