New Patients Visit
1
How do I make an appointment?
For new patients making an initial consultation, you can either ask your doctor's office to send a referral request to us or you can call to schedule your own appointment. Certain insurance plans require you to obtain a referral from your primary care doctor. If you are calling to make an initial evaluation appointment yourself, we may need to obtain sufficient records from your doctor(s) before we can schedule an expedited appointment; this is to help facilitate appropriate prioritization of appointments based on individual needs.

What to bring for my first visit?

What tests will the doctor order?
