How To Prepare For Your First Appointment
During your first visit with us, you will meet with our doctor and staff. We will collect information about your medical history at this time to help us determine how best to assist you, starting with what testing needs to be performed. Some testing may take place on your first visit, and the doctor will discuss all options and testing procedures with you.
We recommend filling out the forms below prior to your first appointment in order to save you time at our office. If you are unable to fill out and file forms before the day of your appointment, please arrive no less than 30 minutes before your scheduled appointment time in order to provide necessary information. This information is critical in ensuring safe, effective treatment of our patients.

Your health insurance company can inform you if a referral from your Primary Care Physician is needed prior to making an appointment with us. If so, please make sure to get this referral prior to scheduling an appointment with us to save you time and headache.
