Should you request that your appointment be rescheduled, we will offer you the next available appointment. At every visit, we ask that you bring your medication list indicating all of the prescriptions you are currently taking. This is necessary to ensure we do not prescribe a medication that would interfere with those ordered by another physician.

If your insurance plan requires a referral from your primary care physician (PCP), in order to see our specialty provider, it is your responsibility to request and obtain this referral from your PCP. Your PCP may fax this referral to our office directly. However, if we do not receive this referral prior to your visit, you will be responsible for payment, or you will need to reschedule your appointment. Please call our office 48 Hours in advance of your appointment, to verify that your referral has been received.
