During your first visit, your medical history will be reviewed; you will be evaluated and informed of your treatment options. At this time, any concerns or questions you may have regarding treatment and surgery will be addressed, and unless you have a medical emergency, a second appointment to provide treatment will be arranged.
Your initial visit will also give you an opportunity to meet with our financial coordinator who will inform you of any fees and discuss financial options or insurance questions. No referral is necessary to meet with our doctor, and you will find our team is here to serve you!
