We understand that patients and their families want more than just expert medical advice from their physicians. That is why we place such strong emphasis on having good communication with all of our patients. We encourage you to discuss with us any aspect of your or your family's medical care. Good communication is essential to the patient-doctor relationship.

Appointments
We recognize that your time is valuable. Patients are seen by appointment. We make every effort to keep a schedule, but please understand that emergencies and complicated visits may occasionally cause delays. Our staff will keep you informed and give you the option of re-scheduling your appointment if that works best for you. Same day acute-care appointments are available.
You can help us keep our schedule by:
- Informing the receptionist about the nature of your visit so the proper amount of time can be set-aside for your appointment
- Arriving 15 minutes early
- Bringing all of your medications or a list of your medications to your appointment
- Notifying the office at least 24 hours in advance if you are unable to make your appointment.*
* There maybe a $30 charge for missed appointments and insurance will not cover this fee.
Late Policy
Patients who arrive more than 15 minutes late for their appointment may be asked to reschedule their appointment or wait until they can be worked into the existing patient schedule.
Telephone Calls
Our medical support staff has been trained to answer most questions. If they are unable to answer a question, your medical record will be reviewed and a staff member or physician will call you back.

For your protection, an appointment may be necessary before refilling prescriptions for some medications including antibiotics and narcotics.
Labs, Procedures and X-Rays
Our staff will notify you as soon as possible if any of your test results require prompt attention. When lab tests, imaging studies or other tests are performed, you will be notified of the results in 7-10 business days. We would encourage you to contact our office after ten business days if you have not received your results. In some cases, the doctor may request that you wait until your next scheduled appointment to discuss the results of your tests.
Referrals
Some health conditions may require us to refer you to a specialist. You should be aware of the referral policies of your insurance plan. It may limit you to seeing only specialists that are affiliated with your health plan's provider network. Obtaining a referral through your insurance plan or a specialist's office is occasionally a time-consuming process and your patience is appreciated. We definitely will do our best to meet your needs.
Forms
For each form (FMLA, APS, Disability, etc.) that we complete and sign, the charge range from $15 (simple, one-page form) to $25 (multi-page form or dictated letter). Payment is due at the time the form is submitted; please allow five to seven business days for its completion, after which time it may be picked up during regular office hours.
