When you come for your appointments, please remember to bring the following

• Drivers License or a valid ID
• Insurance information
• Referral Letter (if required)
• Copies of results, x-rays, MRI’s. CT scans etc and any other relevant information
• List of medications (if any)

Very often during the course of your evaluation or treatment for an orthopedic condition we will require X-rays to determine the cause of a problem or to evaluate your progress.

To cancel an appointment

Telephone the office during business hours and allow at least 1 day’s notice so that we can offer your appointment time to patients on our waiting list.

We recognise that your time is valuable, and we make every effort to run on time. Occasionally emergencies or patients require a little more time, and these cause scheduling delays beyond our control. We apologise if we keep you waiting.

Fees & Payments

We make every effort to decrease the cost of your medical care. Therefore, we request payment arrangements for all office services at the time they are rendered unless prior arrangements have been made. We accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards for your convenience. If we are a participating provider of your insurance company, we will bill them. However, payment is the patient’s responsibility. We will help in any way we can to assist you in handling claims.

Prescriptions & Renewals

Please request all prescriptions and authorizations for renewals during our normal office hours, when our full records are available. Renewals requested at other times will be filled only for extreme or emergent circumstances.
