How To Become A Patient

Planning Your Visit

Your insurance company may require that you get a referral from your Primary Care Physician before becoming a patient. Please check your policy. If required, you must get the proper authorization from your insurance company before scheduling your appointment.

Scheduling Your Appointment

If a referral is required, the referring physician may schedule the appointment for you; or, once you receive the referral, you may schedule the appointment yourself by telephoning our office. If your insurance does not require a referral, please call our office directly to schedule your first appointment.

Your First Visit

When you come for your first appointment, please bring the following:

• Your insurance card
• A list of your current medications
• Your contact information (telephone and mailing address)
• Details of your medical history
• Your co-pay

If You Do Not Have Insurance

If you do not have insurance, please be sure to contact one of our Office Managers before scheduling your appointment. Our self-pay patients have found it very helpful to understand the many options that are available, and appreciate having this resource available to them before their first appointment.
