Your Office Visit

Your visit to our office will be most productive if you specify the relative urgency for your appointment. We make every effort to accommodate the needs of all patients and attempt to keep waiting periods for appointments to a minimum, however, you must understand that during school breaks and during the summer months, our schedule fills early, and is busy.

When calling to schedule your appointment, please have all your information ready; Birthdates, Social Security numbers, Health Insurance Cards, your Primary Care Physician or Pediatrician name, and a calendar to mark the date!

If you are a new patient, your old records are important. Please be sure you have signed a release for information with your previous doctor and have this information sent to our office. Information received will be placed in a 'referral information file'. When checking in, please ask the receptionist if such information has arrived and if it has, it will be incorporated in your records. You may want to call a day or two before your appointment to verify your old records have arrived.

To help make your appointment with us go as smooth as possible, please note the following: Some common insurance companies that require referrals are Aetna, Gateway, Unison and TriCare Prime. Please have a valid referral with a medical diagnosis (reason for referral) faxed to our office before your appointment. Our fax number is (724) 772-7021. You will get a reminder call from our office before your appointment. If we have not received a referral you may re-schedule your appointment or self-pay with a credit card, debit card, check or cash at the time of your visit. If you have any questions regarding referrals, please call our office.
