We accept cash, checks, VISA and MasterCard. Patients may contact the practice manager to discuss options for financial assistance.

Since our physicians are caring for patients, only in the event of an urgent medical situation will the physician be called to the telephone immediately.

Referrals
We request 72 hours notice for processing physician referrals, except in the case of an emergency.
Prescription refills
For your convenience, refill requests for medications other than controlled drugs may be requested through your pharmacy, and your pharmacy will submit the request to us.
