Your Appointment
Patients are seen by appointment, helping assure
minimal wait time.
Although we make every effort to stay on schedule, we
ask for your understanding should emergencies and
complicated visits occasionally cause delays; in these
cases, our staff will keep you informed, giving you the
option of re-scheduling your appointment.
You can help us keep our schedule by:
Informing the receptionist about the nature of your visit
when you make your appointment, so the proper
amount of time can be allotted
Arriving 10 - 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 is a $30 charge for missed appointments and insurance will not cover this fee.
Labs, Procedures and X-Rays
Our staff will immediately notify you if any of your test
results require prompt attention. Otherwise, you may
receive a report summarizing your test results in the mail
in two to three weeks. In some cases, the doctor may
request that you wait until your next scheduled
appointment to discuss the results of your tests.
Referrals
Some medical problems may require referral to a
specialist. You should be aware of the referral policies of
your insurance plan, as some limit you to specialists
affiliated with your health plan's provider network.
Obtaining a referral through your insurance plan or a
specialist's office may be time-consuming and your
patience is appreciated. We will do our best to meet
your needs within the shortest possible time frame.

Medication Refills
Except in cases of emergency, prescription refills are
handled only during regular office hours. To ensure more
timely refills, please contact your pharmacy with the
prescription number on your medication bottle. If your
refill has expired, the pharmacy will call our office for
permission to fill your prescription. Since 24 - 48
hours are required, please call before the last day of
your supply.
For your protection, an examination may be necessary
before refilling some medications. A written prescription
is required for controlled substances.
Telephone Calls
Our medical support staff has been trained to answer
most questions. However, if they are unable to answer a
question, your chart will be reviewed and a staff
member or physician will call you back.
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.
Billing
We ask that all patients sign a copy of our financial
policy. If you have any questions regarding your bill,
please call 904.202.1032.
Emergencies
After office hours, on weekends and on holidays, there
will be an on-call nurse and physician available for
telephone consultation regarding urgent health
conditions. The on-call physician will not fill controlled
substances. If the condition is an emergency, you
may be instructed to go to the Emergency Center at
Baptist Medical Center South, Baptist Medical Center
Downtown or Wolfson Children's Hospital. If hospital
admission is required, our on-call doctor will provide
care for you. If you are a member of an HMO or
PPO, please be certain to follow the rules of your plan
for emergencies.
You may contact the after-hours staff by dialing our office
number, 904.287.2794.
