To ensure a smooth check-in, please bring:

  • Any relevant radiology films (X-rays, CTs, MRIs) on a disc.
  • Referral documents (if required by your insurance).
  • Your co-payment.

Medical Questions

Your initial appointment is a consultation. Your surgeon will review your medical history, perform a physical exam, and discuss your diagnosis. If surgery is recommended, they will explain the procedure, risks, and recovery time. This is the best time to ask questions to ensure you feel comfortable with the plan.

Please contact your pharmacy to request a refill. They will contact us for authorization. Please allow 24 hours for this process.

Narcotic Pain Medication Policy:

  • Narcotic prescriptions (pain medications) will not be refilled on weekends or after hours
  • All narcotic refills require an in-person office visit with your surgeon for evaluation
  • Narcotic prescriptions cannot be called in or authorized without an appointment
  • Please plan ahead and schedule an appointment before your medication runs out

If you have a life-threatening emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest Emergency Room immediately. Do not wait for a return call from the office.

Billing & Paperwork

Yes. We are happy to assist with your recovery documentation (FMLA/Disability).

  • We can provide a note confirming your surgery date and estimated recovery time.
  • Detailed forms cannot be completed until after your surgery has been performed.
  • There is a $25.00 administrative fee for the initial paperwork, and $25.00 for any additional forms thereafter.

We accept most major insurance plans (see our Insurance page). However, verification of benefits is the patient’s responsibility. Please contact your carrier to confirm we are in your network.
