Patients are seen only by appointment. Please contact us 24 hours in advance if you need to cancel your appointment.

In order to provide you with the best possible care, we need the most up-to-date information about you. Please remember to bring your insurance card and a list of all medications you are taking.

Insurance and payment information

We accept most insurance plans, including Medicare. Many plans require that you make a co-payment at the time of your visit. For self-pay patients, payment is expected in full at the time of service. To make payment as easy as possible for you, we accept cash, checks, VISA and MasterCard. Patients may contact the practice manager to discuss options for financial assistance. If you have any questions regarding your bill, please contact our business office at 804-521-9300 or 800-732-7072.

Telephone calls

Have a question? That’s why we are here! Feel free to call us Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Our staff will make every effort to answer your call. If all of our staff are assisting other patients and you receive voicemail, please leave your name, date of birth, two telephone numbers where you may be reached, and a brief description of your medical problem so that we may process your call promptly. Since our physician is caring for patients, only in the event of an urgent medical situation will the physician be called to the telephone immediately.

Emergencies

For emergencies, our physicians are available to you 24 hours a day. You can call our main office at 804-764-7686, and after hours you will be transferred to our on-call physician services. If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, call 911.

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. Medication refill requests should be made during normal business hours. We request 48 hours to process refill requests. We are not able to process medication requests after hours.

Please remember that in certain situations, appropriate medical care requires a patient examination before a prescription can be filled.

Medical records

Your records are confidential and will not be released without a signed consent from you.
