Length of Your Visit

Please allow 1-2 hours for your appointment.

Please prepare for possible delays with the assurance that you, too will have the time you need with the doctor.

Medical Care

As our patient, you will receive the finest care and assistance for all of your medical needs. Fellows and residents in recidency programs, nurses, and technicians may assist your doctor during your visit. These individuals have special training and skills that make them an important part of our patient care team.

  • Medical records (consultation, operative, radiology reports)
