Checklist

Please ensure your records have been transferred BEFORE your visit. In most cases, obtaining your records in person is the most effective way. To check to see if your records have been transferred, you may contact us by clicking HERE.
If your issue involves a second opinion and you had a cardiac catheterization, the actual film recorded on CD-ROM can be helpful to bring with you.
If you have a pacemaker or ICD (defibrillator), please obtain the last interrogation report.

Preoperative Evaluations

For patients who have been asked by their surgeon or proceduralist to obtain a preoperative “clearance”, please plan ahead. You may require preoperative testing which can take several weeks. For abnormal studies, your surgery or procedure may require rescheduling. We WILL NOT rush evaluations for last minute requests as we value your safety to undergo procedures. If you are an existing patient, please make sure to mention the need for perioperative evaluations PRIOR to the appointment. Failure to do so may require making another appointment.

Become a New Patient

We are currently accepting new patients into our practice. Thank you for considering us. To become a new patient:

When you come to our office for the first time as a new patient, we'll ask you to complete some initial forms, including an Authorization and Consent for Treatment form, if you were not able to download them from the patient portal in advance of your appointment.

To make sure there are no delays in care during your first visit experience, please arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment to ensure your registration is complete before meeting with your new provider.

Remember to bring:

Your insurance card
Valid photo ID
List of current medications
Office co-pay

In an effort to respect the time of all of patients, our staff strives to stay on schedule so that other patients do not have to wait.

For patients who are delayed and arrive late for appointment, every effort will be made to see them the same day. However, wait times may apply, or appointments may need to be rescheduled.
