Our office is open Monday 8 am to 5 pm, Thursday 8am to 6pm, Tuesday Wednesday and Fridays 8-4 pm. We have a policy of saving work-in slots either on our nurse practitioner's or physician's schedule on a daily basis, so that you can generally be seen same day for sick visits and urgent issues. New patients are accommodated based on availability.

We are currently on most PPO insurance plans including Aetna, BC/BS, Cigna, Humana, Medicare and NOW UNITED. We also offer discounts for payment at time of service on both labs and visits for patients who are uninsured. We are not on most HMO plans or Medicaid. .If you are on an insurance plan that is not listed feel free to call our office ask.

After Hours /On Call

If you need to reach us after hours for an urgent matter that cannot wait until the next business day, you can call our regular office number and follow the instructions for paging the on call physician. Calls requesting prescriptions or treatment over the phone may be subject to a phone consult charge.

Phone Calls/ Phone Consults

While we realize that occasionally you may need to call our nurse for clarification of an issue or with a problem, once you have had two phone calls between visits it is our policy to ask you to come in and speak with the doctor or nurse practitioner regarding your concerns. If you have a matter that you would like to discuss with our nurse, that is unrelated to any recent health care issue for which we have seen you, a $10 charge for a nurse consult will be assessed to your account. While we strongly prefer to evaluate and discuss issues in the office, occasionally if you have an issue that we deem appropriate for a phone consultation, a phone consult with a provider can be set up for $25 for a 5-10 minute discussion.

Hospitalizations

If for some reason you need to be admitted to the hospital, please call us or have the ER doctor call us. This allows us to stay involved in your hospital care and work with your hospital doctors. Due to the time constraints of our office practice, we generally do not manage our patients in the hospital. Instead we work with a team of "hospitalists" who will manage your care and stay in contact with us should you require hospitalization.
