Preparing for Your Initial Visit
Your complete medical history will help us provide you with the most accurate, individual care. Prior to your first visit, please make arrangements with our practice or your primary care physician to complete our healthcare questionnaire in advance. It’s also helpful to bring any medical records, X-rays, lab reports, and mammogram films/reports you may have at home.

We participate with most health insurance plans and we can set up a payment plan if you do not have insurance. We accept cash, checks, Visa and MasterCard. Co-pays are due at the time of your visit.

Following Your Visit
Please complete our patient satisfaction questionnaire. This lets us know how we are doing and which areas we may need to improve to make your healthcare experience the best it can be.

Confidentiality
We will not release any information concerning your medical history or treatment to any third party without your permission. We will work closely with your primary care physician regarding our recommendations and your progress.
