New Patient Appointments
Our services are available to all who seek them. You may become our patient through a physician’s referral or transfer. We welcome the opportunity to provide second opinions because an initial diagnosis can be stressful, and we strive to keep waiting times for appointments to a minimum. Be assured that our providers will do their very best to help you. For new patient appointments, please consult your primary care provider or specialty provider for a referral or call our office.

What to Expect During Your First Visit
To better serve you during your visit, we ask that you bring a list of your medications, prior illnesses, previous surgeries and current allergies. Always bring your insurance card, and let us know whenever you change your address, telephone number, employment, marital status or insurance. We accept most major insurance plans.
During your initial office visit, you will have the opportunity for an open conversation with your physician. You will learn about your treatment options, what is involved with each, any potential side effects and how our team will guide and support you. If you can, bring someone with you such as a family member or friend to be another set of ears in the room. In addition to providing emotional support, they can help you remember what the physician says, take notes for you and remind you of key questions that you want to ask.
