Office
Hours
Our
office is open 8:00 A.M. until 5:00 P.M. Monday through Friday.
Hospital rounds are made before by the physicians and following
office hours. Emergencies will take priority at all times.
Insurance
Insurance
coverage varies significantly with individual policies and often
does not fully cover services rendered. Responsibilty for payment
of professional fees remains with you, not with the insurance company.
Fees
Fees
vary with the individual services rendered; they reflect the specialized
ability and time devoted to each problem. In many instances, significant
time is required reviewing hospital records, laboratory tests and
consulting with your personal physicians regarding your prior care.
We will be glad to discuss the matter of fees with you at any time.
Confidentiality
All
medical information is private and confidential. No information
is released without your permission. For this reason, all records
and charts remain the property of the office. Reports of findings
and medical opinions will be forwarded to other physicians, insurance
companies, or other appropriate parties, but only with your consent.
