If you have questions after your office visit, please feel free to contact our office. It is our plan to contact you regarding your test results. If you do not hear from us, please contact our office and ask for your physician's clinical coordinator. If surgery is indicated, our office staff will coordinate a convenient date for you and the physician. Please notify your insurance carrier before you are admitted to the hospital.
Most insurance carriers require patients to get approval for tests and surgery.
The hospital will also verify insurance coverage and obtain pre-certification. You will be notified by mail as to when to report for preoperative testing. Whenever possible, someone will call you the night before your surgery to tell you when you need to be here. Remember to bring your X-rays with you the day of surgery, unless they are already housed in our office. If you have an emergency, go directly to the nearest emergency department.
