Making Appointments
Patients are seen by appointment only. Please call or email to schedule an appointment as early as possible in the day to increase your likelihood of being seen within 24 hours.

We all wish to be seen at the scheduled time and every effort will be made to ensure this . If you are waiting more than 15 minutes please speak to our assistant at the window. Please be understanding if the doctor is running behind. This will usually be due to emergencies in the office or at the hospital. A reminder service is provided via telephone the day prior to your appointment. Failure to cancel your appointment will result in an administrative charge of $25. This will not usually be paid by your insurance company.

Insurance
We accept most major insurances. Please email us if you do not see your plan below.
