In order to ensure a seamless patient experience, we may ask that you or your referring provider send us additional information by fax or mail.

As a specialty department, we may need to perform diagnostic procedures, testing, and/or therapy during the course of a visit in the best interest of your care. These services may be billed separately from the office visit with our providers. We encourage our patients to call their insurance company before their appointment to determine if specific services are covered under their plan, and how much they may be required to pay out of pocket based on the individual's co-insurance/deductible plan.
